Digital separates or all in one music hub
Be careful with Lumin as the D2 does not support Tidal Connect. https://www.luminmusic.com/streaming-services.html A streamer and separate DAC would provide greater flexibility.  
As a chill electronica listener, should I stop at a Med-Fi system?

Lumin D2 or U1 Mini
I had the D2 and changed to an Ifi Stream and Topping D70 MQA. Very happy with the results and if offers far greater flexibility with the dac. The D2 will not work with Tidal connect. https://luminmusic.com/streaming-services.html Id focus on ... 
Think ill just go with a lumin
Copied from another forum…..   In the latest The Absolute Sound the $399 IFi Zen Stream is co Music Server of the year with the $39,000 Linn Klimax DSM/3. Of the Zen Stream they say “may well be the most hassle-free, flexible, and high-quality ...

You need to list what you need the streamer to deliver and work forwards. Tidal Tidal Connect Qobuz Spotify Connect Roon Local Files Find a streamer that delivers what you need, lots are only going to give you what the API allows.

I’ve not heard of them having a preamp but they do have a digital volume control called leedh that you can enable in the lumin app. https://www.luminmusic.com/support-leedh-processing.html

I have the D2, It links you in to the internal DAC and if you use Tidal that’s fine but you get no flexibility , also for Tidal you don’t get Tidal Connect on the D2. I’m changing mine out and have replaced it with an Ifi Stream with USB out to a...

Pimping your router
So if noise makes a difference to to 1 and 0,s that make up the data where is the evidence that its now say 1.2 and not the original value of 1 that it started out as. If it remained as 1 its the same value resulting in the same sound?  
Tidal vs Quobuz

Tidal vs Quobuz
@wsrrsw mtb riding, I live in the High Peak in Derbyshire UK. 
Tidal vs Quobuz
@wsrrsw I mean radio as in the automatic selection of random tracks as in Roon, not actual radio stations that TuneIn delivers. 
Tidal vs Quobuz
Qobuz maybe fine if you want it for main system use only.But don’t forget no My Mixes, no radio or station functions, the playlists are awful, support is poor.Mobile is poor, CarPlay does not work for streamed content, log out and you loose all of... 
Audirvana VS Roon, and Mac Mini VS Innuos Zenith MkII
I also like that Roon continues to play using Radio.However sometimes the selection is poor.I've been selecting a track directly in Tidal using "Go to track Radio" then I save that as a temp playlist which gives about 9 hours of music.I'm thinking...
