New Cary DMS 700
That’s cool. Know you are excited. Rip some of your great files to a SD card   You will be amazed.  
Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
Like to see a tube pre amp with the Personas. Tames the little bump in the upper mid. Plus a big room really helps. Once dialed though they are a great speaker.  
Speaker cables Mid High end
Another plus one on the Fidelium. Much better sounding cable than any of the Audience 24 series. ( had them all)   Trial and you can’t beat the price. Best bass definition you will find under a grand. Very detailed but in a warmer way which makes ... 
New Cary DMS 700
Follow the link. Retail 7995. On pre sale 5995. I think it is going to be killer.  
New Cary DMS 700
Funny had the Lumin T2 next to the Cary 600 and the Cary Killed it. Cary much more robust. Lumin would sound good for a half an hour then hurt your ears.  In the right system though the Lumin is a great sounding player.  You would have to start at... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
I am auditioning the Fidelium in my system. Currently have Cerious Matrix Loom. these cables are more similar than different. Both great cables.  I feel the Matrix have a little more sparkle on top but the bass definition goes to the Fidelium’s Th... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
Just like any team, the pieces  have to fit. When paired properly they are a fantastic speaker. Just have to have a basic understanding of what will work with them as far as electronics , wire and dac ( if digital). I love my 5fs in a 27x17x10 lis...

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...
