Lumin D2


Hello looking for a little input from current Lumin streamer owners. I was able to demo this streamer from my local dealer, and have been using it for well over a week now. The sound quality far surpasses my current setup of a Bluesound node with a Hegel HD12 DAC utilizing optical connection. But that's were the honeymoon ends! I downloaded the Android app to my phone and found app to be not very user friendly I cannot pause tracks, add entire playlists or albums, and cannot pull a song from Tidal to add to a playlist. I need to go to my Tidal app do add a track then go through the Lumin app to be able to play the track.

I guess what I am trying to find out if I used a iPad will I then be able to do all the functions l am currently used to using my phone and the Bluesound app. I sent a request to Lumin support three days ago and have yet to hear back from them. I don't currently own a iPad and I would get one if I knew it would make it operate similar to the Bluesound app. 
Thanks
Mark

My experience with the LUMIN app on the iPad is terrible. It crashes very frequently and freezes even more often. I tried the Linn app as well and its far more stable but not as well designed as the LUMIN app. 
Overall a quite frustrating experience since it's the only way to control my D2 and it that price range I should be able to expect a flawless user interface. I contacted LUMIN and they even suggested I can try the Linn app.

Since the last update, the volume control is lagging behind several seconds so overall I would not buy a LUMIN streamer again.
