On January 30 Auralic released a beta version of firmware - - 6.0beta3 — which was applied to their entire product line. The improvement in sonic quality is stunning. If you have a chance to do so, listen to the Vega for an hour with the beta firmware applied at your local dealer. It’s easy to switch between the release firmware version and the beta for comparison purposes.
Lumin vs Auralic
I'm finally moving to streaming audio. I've done a bunch of reading and have narrowed down my search to one of two models: Lumin T2 (which is finally shipping I hear) or the Auralic Vega G2. For those that know both brands, and have had a chance to audition or work with their software platforms, which would you recommend? I prefer the one box design....so I end up sending less on cables/interconnects. I just plan on using Tidal....fyi. Any feedback would be appreciated!
