Re: *NEW* Esoteric N-05XD
Unless something has changed with the newer models both the UD-701 and the N-05XD are based on the Lumin streaming architecture and use a version of the Lumin app.

Re: Aurender N200, Lumin U1 Mini, or Sonore Signature Rendu SE
Auralic Aries G2.1 and the Lumin U1 Mini is being replaced by a newer model. If you want to go lower priced the Aries G1 is about $2400 cheaper and very good in it's own right.
