Lumin U1/U2 versus T3


Currently using a T3 and out of curiosity demo'd a PS Audio Direct Stream MK 1 DAC. The PSA dac definitely improved my system and my question is, will the U1 or U2 be a substantial or noticeable improvement over the T3. Not ruling out a PS Audio Airlens as a streamer either using I2S. Currently I'm using spdif out of T3 to DAC via BNC.

Cool. 
 

I have PS Audio DSD Mk1 in my system now and using it with Aurender N200 via AQ Diamond USB cable. Sounds good. So I’m thinking you’ll most likely benefit from a dedicated high quality streamer. 

No I did not. I was looking at Lumin U2 and Aurender N200, units from manufacturers who specialize in streamers and have a long standing solid reputation in this space. I think PS Audio has the means to produce a great product though. If you can try it with return policy, could be worth giving the Lens a shot.
