That is interesting ... I looked into HQPlayer and it looked more complicated than I wanted. The lumin seems like a good alternative since I can turn the upsampling off if I find the DSD is not great and just use it as a streamer.
Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender
I am looking for a new streamer (with no dac) and streamer with a dac and would prefer to stay with one brand. Have it narrowed down to Lumin, Hifi Rose or Aurender. I need spotify connect and access to tidal.
I will spend in the 4 to 6K for the Steamer and 3-5K for the streamer Dac
I have a Berkeley alpha dac 3 that the streamer will feed in system one which is a higher end system mcintosh C22 into a MC462 with Harbeth 40.3 XD speakers.
The streamer dac is for a second system which is more middle of the road. Mcintosh MA6500 with Totem Forest Signature speakers.
I do streaming only and don't have no need for drive storage.
Love to here your thoughts

I've loved my U2 mini except for the app, which I found awkward to use with Qobuz. I posted about that in a Lumin forum on another site and Peter responded within minutes that I ought to try JPlay. I did and it's great. Really wonderful when a company doesn't just insist that their solution is best and actually reaches out to help you find a solution. |
Has anyone owned or had a good listen to a NAD Masters Series streamer compared to a Lumin, Rose, Aurender or similar? Some said Ayre is worth considering.
