Lumin u1 or Aurender N10

Some posts here claim their respective player apps as the best OR the worst. Take with a grain of salt.

Do you prefer Polish or Korean?

wanted opinions also if some members have had both units at some point in terms of sound quality not only app.

Aurander for good or worse is a close environment, take that into consideration.

Lumin supports Roon while Aurander does not.

regarding each sound quality, better here both on your system as everything is dependent on your setup components.

I own two Aurender, a N100 and W20SE…after replacing my Aurlic Aries 2. I have not heard the Lumin, but extensive research did not lead me there. I have also heard the N10, an outstanding sounding unit worthy of the price.

I can say the Conductor app is excellent as is support… available directly through the app. At audio shows their flagship is the most used streamer. Streamers is all they do and they are phenomenal at designing and building them..

I have owned both the Lumin U1 and Aurender N10.  I don’t have either but I thought the Lumin sounded better if memory serves.  When i had the N10 and my current PSAudio Directstream DAC I could hear no difference in sound when playing the same song to each and switching back and forth between the Directstream Bridge and the Directstream USB input, which was how the N10 was connected.
