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...

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.

look at a 432evo standard 3500 full roon core and endpoint completely upgradable to our higher performance models,

 

our most popular server the $7800 aeon competes with the 12k aurender n20 and the 25kInnous statement.

If Roon, Innuos reportedly doesn’t play well with it.

When I had an Aurender it didn't do Roon at all. I don't know if things have changed.

@2psyop I was using a Aurender A100 streamer with my Pontus two. Upgraded to at the time the new Aurender N200, The difference was transformative,literally night and day difference,Ive seen used N200,s for as low as $3500. Good luck.
