Are you up-sampling with the Lumin, or going native (Lumin) and allowing the DAC to do that?

I am pretty tech savvy and I always said to my self I would never be like my Dad……. I went to Best Buy 5 or 6 yrs ago to buy my daughter a Wii…. I asked 16 yr old salesman all kinds of questions. Does this controller with color screen pair to the main device (answer was yes); does it come with everything shown on the box (answer was yes); where do you buy the games (in store or on line via Wi-Fi)….. after I grabbed one and was walking to the cashier I knew I turned into my Dad. So that is why I have a state of the art media server not because I spent hundreds of hours figuring it out. I just knew who to call…. I have owned the Olive it died two yrs in with no service or help and it was NOT great. I get ZERO benefit in a recommendation but this is one I will give. The point is don’t get confused in all the super cool minutia of file resolution just get E involved then everything is just the touch of your iPad! Zero tech skills needed just Music

Honestly I find figuring out which cartridge to upgrade my MT5 just as confusing

I up-sample from the Lumin app to the Bryston DAC. 24Bit 176.4kHz
Native would be 16Bit 44.1kHz.

Not that difficult. Just pick one. If you don't care for it (very unlikely), then get another. Cartridge collecting is easy (why I have 10 of them). Once you get above $1500 the differences are fewer than the similarities. I don't doubt that is also true of DACs.

I’m in the same position but I currently have the LUMIN T2. Would there be a upgrade benefit to the Bryston BDA-3 from the LUMIN internal DAC?
