Thread: Lumin M1 vs BlueSound Powernode 2i vs NAD M50

Hi there

I am tired with my Sonos Amp. Not well integrated with Roon, no real HiRes..
I would like to have a nice just-plug-speakers amp.
I have my Lumin U1 Mini which is my best streamer and which makes me very confident with Lumin products.

Is the Lumin M1 worth the extra price vs BlueSound?
And is it better than the NAD?

Best

Yes and yes. I have the Lumin M1 in my secondary system. Previously owned a Bluesound Node 2i, NAD M32, and Auralic Polaris. Lumin wins in dynamics, tone, simplicity, and ease of use. The recently announced Lumin remote control makes it even better.

I can’t find any review about Lumin M1
On the contrary, Darko’s review on BS Powernode seems very attractive
I plan to buy my new device by the end of the weekend
So your input would be very helpful
Thanks

There are two excellent reviews of the M1. Sound Rebels and Six Moons.

Thanks

That sounds really good
But finally I bought the Blusound Powernode because of its hdmi input
And reviews are also unanimous about it for its price
Next time a Lumin for sure

Hi. Thanks
What do you mean ? Bluesound team are not responsive ?
On my side I did not read in the press that BluOS is buggy or something like that
