Projectman, all the stuff you have hooked up to your 585 is making me drool! How do you have your Lumin / Directstream DAC set up? Is the Lumin connected to the Directstream, then to the ML via XLR? Or are you still using the ML DAC?
Right now, I have a Bluesound Node 2i connected to the ML via coaxial. Have you tried connecting the Lumin digitally to the ML, comparing it to the Directstream connected to the ML? I've been contemplating getting the Directstream, but I'm still on the fence. I just threw quite a bit of $ into the ML 585, cables, power conditioner, and a Stressless Sunrise recliner, and I don't think the wife is looking at any additional purchases too favorably.....
