Aurender A10 vs Teac NT505 vs Lumin T2


Any thoughts out there on how these compare? I am looking for MQA, so that is a must, these all do it. I don’t care about Roon or differences in the interface (they all would work fine for me), just looking for best sound quality. I will use it for internal Tidal streaming and either the internal storage or USB stick for my own files.  They all do it.

Any input is appreciated!

I’m using the Lumin app without any issues with my Teac NT-505. Works great for streaming Tidal, which is all that I do with it. Fantastic sounding streamer/dac/network player.

benzman, please post your impressions of T2 vs NT-505 if those are the two you were referring to, thanks!
@big_greg: I am using iOS version of Lumin app, running on iphone.

Never have had any issues with it. In fact, it is more stable than the BlueOS system I run at my office during the day. I never get any dropouts with the Teac NT-505 running Lumin app to stream Tidal, whereas I occasionally do get drops with the BlueOS running on iOS, although to be fair the Ethernet run is longer on that system (25 ft cat 7 Ethernet cable vs the 3 ft cat 7 Ethernet cable I use with the Teac).
