I've had the opposite experience with the DS app. So much so I had to sell it and go with a bluesound Node2i. Constantly something not working properly. First it was that it was unable to refresh and it would crash, then that was fixed by the developer after well over a year. Then the wifi module crapped out, then it started to have to be hard wiped anytime it lost a connection - huge PITA. I dumped it. Sounded great though. Also has a very odd way to access and manage playlists which I found disappointing.
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!
