I haven't heard either, but I have to think the DAC in the Lumin D1 is better. you could try the Node 2 for it's features and functionality spend the other 1500.00 on a DAC that may be better than the Lumin.
Blue sound Node 2 vs Lumin D1
I am looking for a streamer with a built in DAC. I have backed off my original plan to purchase the Aurender A10 and am looking for a less expensive option. The Bluesound and Lumin players do essentially the same thing BTW, my immediate interest is streaming Tidal, so MQA is a possible plus for both players. The obvious difference between $500 for the Node 2 and $2000 for the Lumin distinguishes the two players. Does that price difference translate to a significant difference in performance/sound quality? Both are within my budget but I would rather not spend the additional $1500 unless the improvement is fairly dramatic. I would really like to hear from anyone who has had both players in their system and have had an opportunity to compare them.

+1 for Kclone advice. Lots of choices in DAC’s for that money. I love my Bluesound node2 beats using a computer for ease of use and its app, tough not perfect woks very well. Up against my Bifrost multibit the Bluesound holds its own fairly well. If you don’t hear them side by side it would be hard to fault the Bluesound. Do you have a DAC now? if so which one? What is the rest of your system? |
