OP here. I am not just looking to replace my streamer. I am doing a major upgrade of my home theater system with a second subwoofer and a separate 3 channel amp to run LCR speakers. I am also replacing my ceiling speakers with much better ones. I am also replacing speaker wire and cables with much better wire. Adding a streamer is part of a comprehensive upgrade.
Realistically how much of an improvement will a high end streamer make over a Bluesound Node 2i?
I realized last night that listening to Qobuz with my Node2i was not that much better than listening to Apple Lossless through my Apple TV music app.
If I buy the Lumin T2 it will cost about 10X what the Bluesound costs. Should I expect a huge improvement in the music for $4500 or will it be more subtle with somewhat better detail, separation of instruments a better soundstage? I am hoping that before I spend the money replacing the Bluesound I will be able to compare the Lumin to the Bluesound on my upgraded system.
