Aurender N100 v AIR

[Bob Ryan]

I meant to add that the more affordable Lumin D1 (vs Lumin A1) is actually a pretty darn good option. You get the quite good, natural Lumin sound, you don't pay for an expensive case, and that great Lumin app (my favorite app of all the ones I've tried). I found the Lumin (or other devices that have capability) to up-sample music tracks not as wonderful as it had been suggested by others on forums. After a year of use discovered my overwhelming preference for no up-sampling (preferring the native resolution), or in 20-30 percent of instances preferred up sampling only to the next higher resolution. Most important is quality of original recording. No silk purse from sows ear IME.
