Cary Audio DMS-550 or Aurender A10
The Lumin is Hyper detailed and in the right system would sound fantastic. The Cary is just all around much more listenable for extended periods. I never once had a feeling of I was getting tired of listening.   The Cary has more body in the lower... 
Cary Audio DMS-550 or Aurender A10
Cary on sale right now for 3297. No brainer go with the Cary. I have the DMS 600 and love it. I previously had an Aurender A10 and the Lumin T2. The A10 is getting long in the tooth and the advantage of the integrated hard drive ( mine failed)  is... 
Paradigm Persona series
The right room and system matching and the Persona's will reward you.I have a Cary DMS Streamer/player/dac mated with an Rogue RP7 w/ upgraded tubes and the Person 5F's sound fantastic!! . Not the least bit of edginess or fatigue.  Still tweaking ... 
Cary Audio DMS-550 and Album Artwork
I have a DMS 600 and will get random artwork on my USB and Integrated SD card drive. I never worry to much as figure the file maybe be to blame.Tidal and Qobuz are always perfect  Sounds so good not to worried about the art work too much.  
Swarming!
I like the way you think!!   I built this room with the idea of no acoustical treatments. Angled front walls , soffits gently sloping to a coffered ceiling , proper furniture , double 5/8 drywall withgreen glue,etc. the swarm was going to be the r... 
Swarming!
Ok, just got my swarm set up. Wanted to tweak my 2 channel first in the new room    27x17x10 all one room.  Set up in a golden ration configuration  Twin Dayton amps ( dead quiet) I have the 2 subs behind the listening position with the port plugs...

Rogue RP-7 vs MicroZotl. Reference
Thanks Tim for your thoughts. I built a 29x17x10 room with audio in mind. Coffered ceilings, angled front wall, 3 dedicated 20 amp  10 ga. circuits,Double 5/8 drywall w/ green glue, additional grounding, yada. The room sounds so good I probably di... 
Rogue RP-7 vs MicroZotl. Reference
@gochuchgo    The last 3 pre's in my system were the Candela , Modwright anniversary, MicroZotl 2.0S.  Unfortunately I changed speakers from Merlin MXR, Magico S3 version 1, and now my Persona 5F'sThe MicoZotl was the best sounding  vs the Modwrig... 
Rogue RP-7 vs MicroZotl. Reference
Yes as I mentioned I had a MicroZotl 2.0S. I am sure  the MicroZOTL sounds a bit better and quieter. Choices.......

Thanks for the .02 cents. I just never heard one   Great reviews though and it does check the boxes.  
Low incoming voltage
I had DTE out and the tech climbed poles and replaced some parts but still not enough to make a difference. I will try to go up the ladder with my complaints and see what happens. Not crazy about spending 5 k on a regenerator just to enjoy my syst... 
Low incoming voltage
118-120 should be the norm. I actually blew a fuse in one of the amps because of this.  The system in no way sounds as good at 110 as it does at 120.  Three dedicated 20 amp circuits with 10 Ga Romex     The electric co says 110 is acceptable but ...
