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 don't think you'll do better than this for even less than your budget...no affiliation.

I use a Lumin U1 which is solely a streamer and I'm extremely impressed with the SQ.  If you're looking mainly for streaming quality versus storage/server (which is often a highlight of the Aurender products) I think Lumin products will check your boxes more completely.

@bo1972  that was a 1/2 paragraph away from being a shameless sales pitch ;-)
