Node 2i VS Lumin D2

Has anyone compared these unites directly in the same system? I've heard bluesound node2i which sounded pretty good for a $499 unit. I wonder if d2 being $2300 sounds just slightly or significantly better and by better I dont mean thin( too much detail)

Thanks!

I gave my bluesound to my brother. I am thinking of either getting a node2i for myself again but this time hooking it up to Chord Qutest OR I could just get a Lumin D2. Not sure yet but I may just end up getting the lumin -- that way I won't have to deal with two separate devices.

Was able to listen to both. Purchased the Lumin. Very happy.

Has anyone compared the Node 2i with the Audiolab 6000N?

I have the Node 2i on a Denafrips Ares II. To be honest, I have not heard the Node 2i's onboard DAC.

I can only compare it to a Chromecast Audio and a Sony UBP-X800 disc player/streamer that was sent through and SMSL SU-98 and the Denafrips.

The Node 2i gave more space and depth in sound stage. 

Hope that helps somehow.
