Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021?


...only because we’re so close to 2021.

I just bought both devices, have them running direct to Elac Navis ARF-51’s (which are amazing btw).  Both devices sound good, are close in price, and have similar functionality (yes the BB has more ins).  
Display on the Lumin is straight out of 2012, Mytek‘s is not much better.  Mconnect is absolute trash, while the Lumin app is decent.  Really like the physical volume knob of the Mytek, overall aesthetics, and WiFi connectivity.

Both are dated devices.  Are either of these devices good buys in 2021?  If so, which one? What about service life?

Hello OP,

Are you using the Mytek as a Pre?  If so, yes.  As a DAC however it sounds very good for me.

Perhaps after my next purchases I'll think about auditoinong the Lumin though.
Yeah, I do not understand why, none of the usual math about impedance maatching, blah blah explains it, but the Mytek is not a very good pre.
It IS a very good DAC.
The D2 will sound better with age, just leave it streaming music for a few weeks.
It also has a small screen as the info is on the control app, it also has an option to turn if off.
