Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs?

Gotcha, that might be what I end up doing.  The lumin does have RCA outs and the SVS subs are controllable via app.  

It just seems like I wasted money on the Lumin T2 when I'm actually hearing the Anthem's DAC.  Shoulda just went with the Lumin U1 mini I guess idk.. Then at least there's only one signal conversion in the chain.

By sending the analog signal out of the Lumin and then reprocessing it in the Anthem's dac, aren't I losing MQA since the Anthem doesn't support it?

djones51 - Yes I currently don't use ARC but do use subs.  So I have to keep the Analog Convert 32/192 setting "On" meaning that just using subs means I have to use two dacs..  

It might sound fine, but it just bothers me processing the signal twice with two totally different dac sets.

Makes me wish I would have just gone with the Lumin U1 mini or stuck with the Bluesound node since it's just a streamer and it's debatable how much difference just the streamer makes.

bwguy - I am not using usb.  I'm using balanced xlr from the lumin to the Anthem... Thereby, I am using the Lumin's dac, than the Anthem's dac when I want to use subs or ARC.

Thanks phastm3..  I really want the bass mangement, HT bypass, and ARC... So I'm really thinking Lumin's dac is almost useless now and I should probably just go back to the Bluesound Node 2i and use it just as a streamer.  Maybe the lumin u1 mini if I can convince myself it sounds better just as a streamer.

@bwguy 

I sold the Lumin. I wanted to try separates so I went through a couple of iterations and ultimately decided on a Bluesound Node 2i streamer into a Denafrips Aries ii DAC.  Is this "better" I'm not sure.  Honestly, I'm tired of people saying anything is better.  It's a little different yes.  But I also don't have a perfect room and have changed speakers since then.  

Then I had the Tekton Double Impact SE's and KEF Reference 5.  Loved both but ultimately settled on a sweet pair of Duntech Crown Prince speakers which I'll probably keep forever.  

And I love BluOS, yes even more than Roon.

Why do you have the Classe DAC if you're using the lumin?  What's the purpose of keeping it in the chain?
