Lumin T2 vs Aurender A100 Comparison
A friend of mine is looking for an all-in-one solution (server DAC) and is willing to spend up to $5000. His music currently sits on a NAS so he doesn’t need the unit to have internal storage.
Has anyone auditioned both these units and have an opinion?
It seems to me that the biggest functionality differences between the 2 units are: the Lumin supports Roon, the Lumin has balanced analog outputs and the Lumin has a digital output which could allow the use of an external DAC.Speakers: Vandersteen Model 7 XTRM, 4 M&K ST-150Ts, 1 VCC-5; Amplification: 2 Vandersteen M7-HPAs, CI Audio D200 MKII, Ayre V-6xe; Preamp: Doshi Audio Line Stage v3.0; Phono Pre: Doshi Audio Phono Pre; Analog: Wave Kinetics NVS with Durand Tosca arm; SME 3012R arm, Ortofon Diamond Anna; Reel to Reel: Technics RS-1500; Doshi Tape Pre-Amp; Studer A810, Studer A812, Tascam BR-20; Multi-channel: Bryston SP-3; Digital: Taiko Audio Extreme> Lampizator Horizon, Oppo UDP-203;

Re: Lumin T2 vs Aurender A100 Comparison
I've no experience with the A100, but I've had a Lumin T2 for nearly 2 years.
In no apparent order:
balanced analog output
2 years, zero problems
simplicity; plug it in to the network, power and amp, and it just works.
major feature upgrades at no additional cost (via firmware update); eg - Tidal Connect, Leedh processing
sounds great with my Pass XA60.8's. I no longer use a preamp, sounds better without (see Leedh).
unbelievably good support, right here on audioshark.org
Roon (I don't use it, but many do)
Lumin app is ok, but I don't need to use it (I use the Tidal app, see Tidal Connect)
Can't say whether your friend would prefer the sound of a T2 to the A100 (personal taste and all that), but the T2 is a fine piece of gear.
