| Moving up from a Node 2i I was going to stay with my Node 2i but the Lumin stayed an itch to scratch.I went with the D2 as I wanted the intergrated dac, I think the Lunmin Is more neutral and musical especially at higher volumes.Application wise it seems very old school a... | |

| How do you use Tidal with you local library? @ogeopaas Roon will only stream Tidal and Qobuz what are you using as an streaming source? | |
| Moving up from a Node 2i @marklings So Roon fed into an existing streamer and dac using it as a Roon endpoint delivers an improvement in sound quality? | |
| How do you use Tidal with you local library? I’ve started a Room trial using an old Mac book pro that can be left on, will have to spend some time with it.At 60 not sure if lifetime is the way to go or just pay year on year. | |
| Node 2i to Lumin D2 using internal DAC "Why not just add an outboard Dac to the Node? The switch to Lumin may be a worthwhile improvement but I am personally a fan of separating the streaming and Dac functions." Tried it with my Antelope Gold and it made no difference plus i don't want... | |

| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying This reads more like an advert for Audio Doctor NJ. | |
| Are "streamers" the new "transports"? I guess the value add is more bandwidth and less flaky connections if you have poor Wi-Fi, plus you can spend another fortune on audiophile routers and Ethernet cables or optical networks. | |
| Are "streamers" the new "transports"? I asked the question on this thread, the conclusion from the guy that did upgrade to Lumin was it’s a sideward step rather than huge improvement, I’m sticking with my Node 2iMaybe most of the cost is software development rather than improvement in... | |
| Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2 I tested my Node 2i using the internal dac and also an Antelope Zodiac with linear power supply switching between the inputs on my amp.I could not tell a difference in sound, I would use the internal dac for a while before you rush out and buy ano... |
