DAC - Aqua Formula or Aqua La Scala
Mi4 I think we've talked before,We sell all of your gear including the STR preamp, and the Persona 9H and we have both the Formula and the Lascala.We agree that the STR preamp will be a bottleneck as it is a digital preamp in order to run the room... 
Lumin vs Auralic
OP we are major Lumin fans heck we are a Lumin dealer and we used to sell the Auralic products which were very good.The Lumin products are quite magical the new T2 is a quantum leap over the T1. The new T2 is like a mini version of the X1 which is...
