Wow. I thought my 10-week wait for my Ayre QX-5 Twenty DAC was excessive! It'll be worth it though. I bought my Focus SEs at the height of the pandemic, and somehow Legacy had stock back then.

This thread is so quiet lately. Does anyone else have a U2 and want to share their listening impressions?

I imagine you are right. Esoteric is top level stuff. I know the case amounts for some of the cost difference, but I can't imagine the whole $2k+. But the obsessive side of me passed on a U1 to...

I've never listened to a U1, nor owned a Lumin until this one. But I will say I never imagined that a digital streamer could make my system sound this damn good. I've demo'd an iFi Neo Stream, Sonore...
