Also I must say I am no fan of noisy displays that cannot be read from the seating/listening position
Upgrading streamer transport Lumin U2X Vs. Aurender N20
My current streamer is a Lumin U2 mini with a LHY Linear power supply. My Dac is a Weiss 204 with a Modwright Linear Power supply. Seeking to upgrade my dac to a Berkely Alpha Series 3 with their USB audio interface. I am used to the operation of my Lumin U2 mini that works with Qobuz. Is there anybody that has compared the sound of the Aurender N20 to the Lumin U2X . I did call Aurender and they provide phone support. Spoke to a rep who is out of Minnesota who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Lumin provides a Hong Kong number, but not sure the quality of their support. The Lumin retails for $11,000 and the Aurender $13,500.00. Any thoughts would be appreciated. By the way, Aurender provides storage that I don't need.

@nubiann Aurender has a critical listening mode that shuts off non essential circuits including the display. It’s not an issue. |
audphile1 Sure, I know you can turn off and that's fine, I just don't see the point of these displays at this level. Everyting I need is on the Tablet or Phone screen where I can read it. |
@vinylshadow Great gear, aesthetics subjective & for me questionable. I absolutely agree with the premise of cancelling out RF & EMI by using Fiber. I use Corning LC to LC OS2 10Gb/Gigabit Single-mode Jumper Duplex optical fiber cable and Finisar SFP's. In my experience, this has huge sonic advantages over ethernet Cat 7 cable and I cant see me never go back to Cat Cable. I know its controversial with wire guys but hearing us believing in my Lumin X1 |
