What Am I missing? Lumin T2 Streamer DAC w/MC501's Only

System: Mcintosh C2500, MC501’s, Legacy NAIM NDX w/XPS DR, Furman Elitę 20 PFI, Lawrence Audio Double Bass speaker..

I plan on buying a music streamer, Lumin T2, and thinking of connecting it directly to the MC501’s, but like everyone else, a lot of research, time, and $$$$ was spent putting my current system together and now I’ll be going down to two components (Lumins and MC501’s). I figure the Lumins DAC is better than the Mcintosh. Is there something I missing, like adding another component to the mix to help improve the synergy?

I see your dilemma. So do you have to loose a box? You have some fantastic speakers. If I were to work from there I might start with a streamer only. Aurender, with out a DAC. Given the quality of speakers and amp you would like to stay at that level. I guess more info on you constrains would help.

 

I think ideally you would implement a separate streamer and DAC, using your preamp as a preamp.
