Preamp suggestions, yes again
Speaking from personal experience, getting the AVR out of your 2-channel set up will be a significant upgrade and well worth it IMO.Don't forget you need a few extra cables to make it all work tho. 
Manufacturers with Excellent customer service
PS Audio and Pass Labs have impressed me greatly. Very responsive and clearly want to make sure you are happy as a user. 
Lumin X1 or U1 + PS Audio DSD DAC
Yes, roon user here. I've tried running the Innuos as a core, an end-point, and as a core in experimental mode. The last option has definitely the SQ but is too flaky with frequent skipping.TBH, there's not really any SQ diff running the first two... 
Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
It requires you cut a wire in the U1 Mini thus voiding the warranty.
