I have placed a pre-order for the DMS 700 and currently have a Lumin T2.  While generally happy with the Lumin, it does venture to the bright side as a kind of side effect of the clarity and detail.  Could be chasing my tail here, but I have owned Cary products in the past and have always been a fan since my original SLI 80 days--so I have reason to pursue the comparison and the 30 day trial allows me to do just that.  If I can squeeze between what I like about the detail of the T2 and what I'm hearing about the Cary is less of an edge, less brittleness, then I'll keep the piece.  I'll be running it with an Audio Research GS 150 amp and Reference 6 preamp into the new Wilson Sabrina X speakers.  The comments about the marketing were; however, disconcerting and won't help if in fact details have been misrepresented about the uniqueness of the R2R & tandem approach.  But I'll reserve judgement and let the results dictate my decision.
