Lumin U1 Still Relevant??

Rs 507 that is your opinion stereophile had quite a different opinion

A Krell amplifier also helped set the fifth-floor Audio Intellect room on fire (proverbial only; no actual fires were set). Anticables connected a Belgian-made 432 EVO streamer to a DAC-equipped Krell K300i integrated which drove a pair of just-introduced, blond-wood Alta Audio Adams  Listeners got tight, prodigious bass from surprisingly small woofers, making music in tandem with the Adams’s ribbon tweeters. Saxes and trumpets were brassy, airy, and real. Other duties called; I had a hard time tearing myself away.

It may be you don’t like ribbon tweeters on some tracks the treble wasa little hot

You’re unlikely to get a unanimous consensus cause every user system, listening preferences, room setup is different. The best way is to find a dealer that can loan you the streamer of your choice and access its performance in your system. Both Lumin and Aurender makes very high quality streamers. I have been a Aurender user for last 10 plus years and their newer generation models, N150, N200, N20 improved in terms of low frequency extension, slam and perceived details over their predecessors. 

@audiotroy the ONLY persons opinion that matters is mine! 

I'm open to any recommendation

OK as another member recommended have a look at Simaudio Mind2

Don't waste your time with this dealer.  He will never stop trolling these forums looking for a sale.  Too bad Audiogon lets him get away with it.
