Lumin vs Auralic


I'm finally moving to streaming audio.  I've done a bunch of reading and have narrowed down my search to one of two models:  Lumin T2 (which is finally shipping I hear) or the Auralic Vega G2.  For those that know both brands, and have had a chance to audition or work with their software platforms, which would you recommend?  I prefer the one box design....so I end up sending less on cables/interconnects.   I just plan on using Tidal....fyi.  Any feedback would be appreciated!

I don't really know both brands, but Lumin's system is optimized to work with Minimserver, which is far and away the best music server system for classical music (and is donation-ware!).  So if you have a large classical collection on a server, like me, you'd want Lumin.  It also seems to have more format capabilities (MQA, DSD, etc.)
