Lumin D1, has anyone heard it?


I was sort of thinking about buying the Lumin D1. However in that price range there are many more options. Like Linn Majik DS, Naim ND5xs etc.

Has anyone here compared them, and how do they compare to a separate stream Like Aurelic Arie + DAC?

I too am looking for relatively simple one box setup to stream Tidal maybe my CD collection if I ever get around to ripping them.  One of the servers I have been considering is the Aurender A10.  Anyone compared the D1 to the A10?  The D1 with an attached USB drive would give me the same functionality as the A10 at a significant savings....though technically I guess if I got a USB drive it not be a one box solution.  Is the Aurender worth the extra money?  Would there be a significant difference between playing files from the A10s internal drive and a USB drive attached to the D1?
Thanks for the suggestion.  Since my original post I have been postponing a decision to upgrade my streaming options.  While I am considering my choices I am using a Bluesound Node 2 to stream both Tidal and NAS files.  The BS is really quite impressive!  Eventually I will probably move it to another location in our house as a part of a second system...which brings me back to considering an upgraded streaming option.  I am still considering the Aurender A10 as well as the Lumin D1.  What about the Lumin T1?  I see very little mention of it in any of the audio forums I have visited.  There is a lot to be found about the D1 and the A1 but relatively little about the T1.  How would the D1 with upgraded PS compare with the T1 with Lumin's own external PS?
