What integrated should I upgrade to?
Hegel seems to have many supporters. I find their build quality mediocre for the price they are asking. The volume control is very poor, nearly impossible to adjust the level in smaller increments.You may want to consider an AVM integrated. I have...

AVM amplifiers, sound signature?
Upgrade regarding AVM.In the meantime I upgraded from the Monoblocks AVM M30, fed by the Benchmark DAC3 HGC to their Ovation line Integrated A6.2. This is a purely ‚analog‘ device, meaning no streaming or DAC section. AVM introduced the A6.3 which... 
How to add depth for classical music
Good to hear. I was considering the D2 but decided for the U1 Mini since i already had the DAC.  
Roon vs the world (streaming software)
@jnehma1: Tidal going under? Is this a possibility? I was more worried of Roon going under after they have used up all lifetime membership fees, The reason why I renew on an annual basis. 
Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?
I went from Node 2i to Lumin U1 Mini into Benchmark 3 HGC. Big improvement. 
Roon vs the world (streaming software)
I tried BluOs, Lumin and Roon interfaces. The Roon interface is for me by far the best, very informative and best Tidal integrattion.I recently upraded my hardware substantially and to my ears the SQ of roon is substantially better than BluOs and ...

Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
I would like to draw your attention to the german AVM Audio brand.I run an Ovation A6.2 into Dynaudio Sapphires. The craftsmanship of these amps is outstanding. Their class A/AB is amps are very revealing yet very musical. The top of the range amp... 
How to add depth for classical music
As good as the price-value relationship of Bluesound Node 2i is, upgrading to a Lumin U1 Mini made all the difference in my system. So many more layers, holographic soundstage, more details, extended bass.... Particularly appreciated with classica... 
Node 2i use with external DAC
I used Node 2i into Benchmark 3HGC. The outboard DAC made a significant improvement. I changed from Node 2i to Lumin U1 Mini. Again significant improvement. It might be worthwile more costeffectice investing into a Lumin D2. You have a better Stre... 
Lumin D2 or U1 Mini
I thought i should report back my first impressions with the Lumin.I got the Lumin U1 Mini a few days ago and hooked it up to the Benchmark 3 HGC. Speakers are Dynaudio Sapphire fired by AVM M30 Monoblocks. Connection through USB and SPDIF Coax so... 
Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday?
I agree that SQ is elecricity dependant. It is however not a new finding, there is a reason that power conditioners are used in hifi setups. What is interesting though is that using my own solar produced electricity incl. battery stored electricit... 
To get best sound quality, roon or lumion app?
Agree entirely. My Bluesound App sounds better than Roon, which is somewhat thin and loveless sounding. As userinterface Roon is firstclass. 
Lumin D2 or U1 Mini
Thanks for that input. You must have a pretty good analog gear!
