Despite having some high end equipment over the years, I have never really been good at describing the sound of equipment, so please forgive any improper use of terminology. Also be aware that my current system is very new and just reaching the break in stage (I'm still hearing daily improvements). I can only compare the sound of the Discrete to the Lumin D2 as it currently manifests in my system.
The Discrete is more spacious, more transparent, fuller and more liquid sounding. I think warm chocolate syrup. I feel like another pair of the same DACs (as exists in the Premiere) will just add to this.
Oh, by the way, the Lumin D2 sounds great as well. I easily could have lived with it. Such is the expensive road of music reproduction.
