15k for streamer and dac....how much on each?

I recently bought the T+A Dac200 and the Lumin U2 streamer, so about 50/50 in cost. Sounded spectacular but a touch " Hifi" on some cuts ( running unfiltered). However adding a high quality switch and a Network Accoustics ethernet filter/usb cable combo brought it to a level that now beats my more expensive analogue front end when listening to some 24bit files.

I have a $6300 streamer and a DAC that costs less than $2000. Let your ears decide, there is no % guide here.

@oldracer 

I too have the DAC200. Have you tried giving it DSD files? I’m not sure if the Lumin has the capability of file conversion or if you have a computer you could put HQplayer on to then give to the Lumin. But, the DAC200 sounds even better when using its DSD path.

to the rest on this thread  - sorry for the short detour.

I believe the Lumin feeds DSD to the DAC 200. I just got the T+A Dac 200 also. Sounds great on red book. Feeding it DSD files off the Melco Na H60 Ex is a step up. The Melco doesn’t convert native red book to DSD so would love to hear the Lumin take Quboz and Tidal files converted to DSD >Dac 200. 
I have played with the DSD conversion in Roon but doesn’t seem like it makes much of a difference. 
 

still drool over the Grimm Mu2. Hopefully down the road. 

@audiocanada, and which kind of “THAT guy” are you assuming that I am sir? In my system the ratio between what I spent on my DAC and upsampler with interconnects and power supplies compared to what I spent on my music streamer/server is approximately five to one. What has made the biggest impact on my system was investing in having the cleanest power possible running into and through it. I’ve spent at least three times as much on linear and switch mode power supplies, a good power conditioner with an equally good power cable, and RFI and EMI filters, as I did on my music server alone. 
 

 I built my system around the sound signature of my Chord TT2 DAC and Chord Hugo M Scaler. If I had your $15K today I’d get a Chord Dave DAC and an Antipodes music server because I like their synergy. Good luck and I hope you find what you’re looking for.
