Lumin U2 or Aurender N200

Looking for thoughts on these two streamers: Lumin U2 and Aurender N200.

I’m fully aware of the limitations and features from UI and Roon integration to design concepts and implementation (power supplies, caching, display, etc.)


Hoping to hear from those who had compared these two streamers. I’m also absolutely not interested in hearing from “it’s all 1s and 0s” crowd - this isn’t that forum and I kindly ask you to please stay out of this discussion.

Thanks and Happy Holidays to you all!!!

@curiousjim no not a year just over 2 months. And yes I still love it!
I couldn’t help it but compare it to CD again a week ago and it is just awesome in every way!
I highly recommend it but since it’s a sizable purchase I would strongly advise you to audition it in your system against your current reference

Cool,

I’ve pretty much decided there will be a N200 in future.😁

@audphile1 Which USB cable did you decide on? I will probably replace my Bryston BDP-3 with the N200. (Not willing to pay twice the price for a N20) Currently using a Siltech Classic Legend 380 USB.

FWIW I upgraded from a AQ Diamond USB to the Audience frontRow Reserve USB and it is sensational, but highly expensive. I only needed .75M so that helped. I was going "all in" and end game. N200 as source.
