New Cary DMS 700
I hear ya Joseph. They say that you listen more attentive to new equipment and maybe thats why there is a perceived improvement. You don't have to listen very hard with the 700. That's going from the 600, so from the 550 you must really be digging...

Hey Gary. Hard to put a number on it but the EtherREGEN is a solid upgrade for the 640 they are asking. But you can then spend another 1,000 on a LPS and a boutique Ethernet cable. Head over here:   Audiophilestyle.com.  Look for the Uptone sponso...

Agree w/thyname. You can add all the other goodies down the road. Sablon is another good cable. Supra is pretty nice in the $ 50 dollar range.  
New silversmith fidelium cable

Mine is coming tomorrow. See how it stacks up against the 600. Have an SR orange fuse waiting. : ) 
New streamer
Had a Aurender A10. Very nice sound but maybe a little polite. If your system is a little dull a Lumin T2 Dac/streamer may be for you. There are so many for sale you should be able to get a good deal on one.

So on the 700 you can combine playlist from Qobuz , Tidal,USB, Network etc ?that’s huge.

I have my best of the best on a 1tb SSD plugged in to the Cary. Other than more storage what would be the advantage of a Nas if I was only accessing from the Cary?

Wish I could help you out Garry.  Cary support is usually pretty good. Feeling your frustrations.  
Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying
Maybe try the new Cary DMS 700.  Digital inputs for future integration. Real cool integrated SD card player.30 day trial. Goners have said the Cary DMS 600 sounds better than the X1 . I have a  DMS 600 that I moved too from a LUMIN T2.   Half the ...
