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 was very fortunate to finally get my wife’s blessing getting my system in the living room so i minimized and brought my best! But yeah, it’ll be the only way to listen to music for now! I changed tubes to Gold Lions, which is a little bright, but good! I was too skeptical about getting Telefunkens because of different opinions on how to identify tube markings to make sure of not getting ripped off.. I’ve got good cabling and power cords.

He's definitely one lucky guy! Though my system is in the livingroom now, I'm waiting for the day my wife starts complaining out of the blue about it.. Anyways , OHeavy, I found two telefunken ECC88 tubes my wife got from her brother in law in Germany years ago. I forgot all about them. Are these tubes you've been describing?
