Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender

I am a Lumin lover, T2 with SBooster. I went to my local brick and mortar store and tested every streamer they had. Bluesound, I believe the Aurender and a couple of others. The Lumin was by far the best. 

Only your ears matter! I also recently installed a Synergistic Master fuse. It opened up the soundstage. I was quite surprised at the difference. 

I am running the streamer into my McIntosh MA 12000. 

Happy Listening! 

Aurender N200.  Great unit.   Excellent support.  Very good user interface 

Aurender doesn’t do Roon if you use or want to.  

Lumin to Line Magnetic DAC via Audience, AU 24e digital coax with Oyade Neo CAT 7 Ethernet cable - that's my streaming rig and its's most excellent

One thing Inthought of is the Lumin U1, so I presume the U2!is the same, does not have internal WiFi receivers.  You have to hardwire it to you LAN.

The reason, of course, is a wire is (generally) less likely to have issues and, probably more importantly, the receiver:transmission is quite electrically noisy.

you would need a hard wire off your router or some kind of mesh wireless system that will let you run an Ethernet wire to one of the satellites.

several of the others you were looking at were more integrated, for good and bad.
