Can you use the lumin as a preamp? If so you could buy a switch to basically a/b the inputs on the amp. Then you would have nothing between your CDs and the amplifier except For your interconnects what you don’t do anything anyways
Integrated Amp or preamp to separate Lumin T2 from home theater system
I have a home theater system and my receiver is an Anthem 1120. I use a Moon Sim 330A amp for my left and right speakers and the Anthem 1120 for the rest on my 7.2.2 system. I have a Lumin T2 music streamer and I stream Qobuz and also my converted CD's. To get the most out of my Lumin I was thinking of separating it from my home theater 1120 receiver and having it run with either an integrated amp or its own preamp while using the Sim 330A amp. Any opinions on whether it would be better to go with a good integrated amp or buy a preamp and stay with the Sim 330A amp
