Lumin U1 Still Relevant??

Greetings to those "in the know,"

Is the Lumin U1 still relevant as a benchmark streamer since the introduction of the new U2 Mini? I'm in the market for a streamer, and my head is spinning! Aurender is in the mix, but I have heard mixed reviews on the N200. I'm open to any recommendation up to $7500. The U1 is approaching six years old, and I question the technology improvements we have had since then. 

Thanks!!

432 Evo has a whole load of electronics built into it that probably less than half the owners will ever use (the 432 part).  Wonder if including them in all the units affects the price...

I recommend people read the full Absolute Sound report and make their own mind up as to what is engineered into the unit, and how many of its features individual users might take advantage of.

You should take a look at the Simaudio Moon streamers.  They are excellent, especially if you're running Roon.  They are more on the analytical side.  Extremely black background and tons of detail, which made for an excellent balance for my rather warm setup.
