Lumin or Aurender


I have about 4k for a new streamer. I was looking into Lumin and Aurender. I need a streamer with an Integrated DAC. 
Also looking at NAD M10. Which of these is best in terms of performance, reliability, value ? I watched a YouTube review by Michael Borzenkov, a well regarded Russian audio reviewer, who claimed he couldn't tell a difference between vinyl and A100.  Currently running Blusound node 2 into Mac c2600 dac. Thoughts?

I own both a Lumin D1 with linear outboard power supply and an Aurender N100 feeding a Brooklyn dac. They are in two separate systems. Sound is about the same, since I’ve swapped them in each system. Both are bested, however, by a Pro-ject Signature 10 with an AT ART9 cartridge, which is slightly more expensive, to be fair.
You can’t go wrong with either brand though. I prefer the Aurender app by a slight amount. A nice Aurender feature is a gradual fade-out on mute.
All good.
