That is exactly what I am doing. I now run my Lumin X1 directly to my mono block amps.
Awesome in sound quality. I sold my Ayre preamp and all the associated cables, footers etc. That helped pay for the X1.

Enjoying LEEDH Processing….
With my Lumin T2 connected to my PrimaLuna integrated. I removed the pre-amp circuit completely using the HT bypass settings. I am still able to use Roon. I am hearing significantly more detail that is not analytical but more organic. The soundstage and imaging have improved very noticeably. I will go back to the full function with the pre-amp in a few weeks for comparison but I really like what I’m hearing right now. YMMV.
