Let Roon upsample vs let Lumin T2 do the work
Looks like 192kb just plays higher with zero difference in the audible range.. I have no idea how to interpret that graph not being an engineer :)

Then how does one get real DSD?  Download each individual song from some online music service?

@tuberist thanks for the input.  Why use the computer/Roon instead of the lumin though?Also, why would one not like the DSD512 presentation?  Isn't that just higher quality or truer to the original?  Isn't it just a higher accuracy basically?

Yes it's a gaming computer with 16gb of ram and i7 processor.  It has plenty of power to do whatever, but does it do it the same as the Lumin? 
Adding wireless surrounds bad idea or works well?
Yeah @trevanian, good wireless rear speakers would be such an awesome thing, I'm surprised too that more people have not tried them or weighed in on the good/bad parts.

Wow no opinions..  I should have added that I'm considering a cryogenically frozen power cord to the wireless receiver in the rear for added transparency and less latency.   
Ready to move onto next stage of streaming
The lumin app is far behind BluOS.. Usability means alot to me and BluOS is much better...Reasons:Lumin app doesn't give top tracks by artist (huge no no to me)Lumin app does not allow you to add a song to your existing Tidal playlist.There are a ...

millercarbon, your system is sick to say the least.  Mind if I ask about your background or career?  What allowed you to get so tedious with the advanced and quite expense tweaks?? 
Streamer XLR Balanced - Blue Jean Cable Belden 1800f or Canare L-4E6S ?
@tvad I'm guessing people generally agree that's a "better" cable?  My problem is I have Audioquest Water xlr also going from the pre to the amps.  I got them at a killer deal and do NOT want to pay full price to match them.

@adg101 thanks for the insight.. I mentioned the speakers because they're 4ohm.. I wasn't sure if that made a difference.Thanks @tvad  
Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!
Great information, thanks for all the input...  Ok so let me ask this then::::Would a power regenerator like those from PS Audio not negate this need?  If I get a power regenerator, it's totally regenerating clean power so is there still a benefit...

@elevick he actually recommended a whole house surge protector.@tomic601 he mentioned hospital grade outlets and grounding and all but I really don't remember exactly what he said.  But he did act familiar with high end outlets like those from PS ... 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
@shiner01  Thanks for posting.. Great information. 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
@audiorusty  My understanding of the video was it measured much higher plugged without isolation feet.  Then much less with isolation feet.He talks about why he thinks there was very little difference with/without feet unplugged...  yet a signific... 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
To expound on the YT vid I mentioned, his measurements, if I remember correctly, showed almost no impact on a PORTED sub.  There certainly is a difference in the way cabinets react to a moving woofer in a sealed cabinet with no air escape, so this...
