The time has come and I request advice...

To my fellow audiophiles the time has come and I am going to attempt to improve my digital source in one audio system I have, Currently running a Bluesound Node X into Denafrips Pontus 12th Anniversary and it sounds great but i am ready and willing to update the streamer. Looking for a dedicated streamer that will play Tidal or Qobuz. Might be interested in going the Roon route. Budget is about $2500. Right now the Lumin U2 mini and Aurender seem to be at the top of recommendations. Looking for advice from those who have used the streamer they recommend.

I listen to Jazz, Blues and instrument music mostly...also going to add a turntable to my other audio system and will post another question...

Lumin U1 or U2 if you want go the Roon route. If you don’t need Roon and want an Aurender, only the N150 is within that budget.

We sell Aurender and have the N150 on demo currently. Happy to answer any questions. 
 

I can tell you it’s built like a tank, sounds great and I really like the conductor app for navigating music (Tidal & Qobuz). Typically I use it in critical listening mode, but the screen looks great with album art. Tons of quality for the price point.

I went from the Innuos Pulse mini to the Pulse, and if I win a lottery it’ll be a Pulsar. The mini has the taste you are looking 👀 for.
