Just exchanged my Rose RS150B (streamer and DAC) replaced with a Eversolo T8 (new came out in Sept) streamer only. Great buy for around $1300 USD. No quality problems....probably one of the best for software ease. I was considering Pulsar, but unit I wanter was4-5X the price. It's "slightly better, but ,IMHO, not 4X the price. Good luck in your search. Emjoy the music
Streamers - Auralic, Aurender, Lumin, others...
Any recommendations, please? :)
I'm looking for a streamer only – without a DAC.
I’ve been leaning toward the Auralic Aries S1 since it’s reasonably priced and available pre-owned. It also has a coaxial input, so I could connect my CD player as a transport. I’d mostly use it as a Roon endpoint, as I run Roon on a Mac Mini and really enjoy it — especially for its great music recommendations.
I’ve read some threads here, and many of you seem to love Aurender and Lumin. Has anyone had a chance to compare them with the Auralic?
Thanks!

@rwalsh07 What's your opinion about Lumin U1 Mini?
|
I agree, the u1 mini streamer sounds very good, though a bit darker than the Auralic aries femto I also use. I used to hate the Lumin app, but over time I've gotten used to it, and now it doesn't seem so bad. Certainly not Roon though. I"m curious about the T8, and whether it is better soundwise than the lumin or auralic. |
