Thank you both for your input and sorry for the delayed reply as I was out of sync with my audio due to being very busy with work .
UPDATE : I have decided to order the Mcintosh C53 preamp and Iam suppose to get it this week , I was advised and feel it will enhance and open up the sound stage in my huge open space and bad accoustic great room (approx 1200 SF that opens up to another 600 SF area with 22' high ceiling with more glass then walls & marble floor) . My debate is in regards to the music streamer between the all around convinient nice A/V presentation of the Hifi Rose 150B or any of the Aurenders or Lumin untis (U2 Mini , no DAC for streamer only or T2 w/dac) or any of the more expensive Aurenders ACS10 , N10 , etc which I wonder if the high price will come with a substential twice as better sound stage as the price tag difference form the Hifi Rose 150B or the Lumin T2 .
I want to be able to utilize the USB input of the newer DA2 DAC in the MC-53 to maximize the hi res potential .
Any input/ recommendation will be greatly appreciated .
