Lumin or Aurender


I have about 4k for a new streamer. I was looking into Lumin and Aurender. I need a streamer with an Integrated DAC. 
Also looking at NAD M10. Which of these is best in terms of performance, reliability, value ? I watched a YouTube review by Michael Borzenkov, a well regarded Russian audio reviewer, who claimed he couldn't tell a difference between vinyl and A100.  Currently running Blusound node 2 into Mac c2600 dac. Thoughts?

Aurender added Tidal MQA support at least a year ago.

I have been using an Aurender A10 since it launched 3 years ago and love it. I chose this model because it has internal storage, a streamer and DAC and so this unit does it all and I do not need to have a computer running anywhere. 

I have just had to use their customer service for a failed screen - and they fixed and shipped it free of charge, even though it is 3 years old.

I think the front end app is a CRITICAL deciding factor. If you do not like the interface your listening pleasure will be impacted. Before I got my Aurender I had a unit from Cary. Their unit itself was great, but their app development effort went into their Android product. The iOS version was extremely poor. I lasted about 4 months before switching to Aurender.
The Conductor app from Aurender is fantastic, but it is ONLY available for iOS devices, specifically the iPad. 

I moved from an Aurender X100L to a W20 and the sound quality is a world of improvement - same DAC for both.
@bigkidz. Roon Nucleus, Bluesound 2, Yamaha wxa50, NAD C 658, Bryson, NAIM.....

The folks at Audio Concepts were very patient with me and we auditioned ever brand an all in ones, stand alone’s and found the Moon by Simaudio MiND 2 to fit that bill. Moved from the 340i to the 390/330A and nothing comes close.

That is mistaken. Aurender has a fully functional Android app.
+ 1 for Lumin....I own the A1 with upgraded power supply....bought a D2 for a second system.  The A1 has a reputation for being one of the most "analog" sounding streamers out there.  The app is extremely easy to run, very intuitive.  I also run thru the new etherRegen switch and it is very good.  Investing in high end ethernet cables pays great dividends as well.  Supra CAT8 are extremely good for the money.  Best I've found is the SOtM dcbl  Cat 7.....very highly regarded and recommended.
Enjoy
