Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo
  @tontoverde You made an excellent choice.  MSB was going to be my recommendation.  What color are you getting, black or silver? Let us know how you like it after you get it set up.  
Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits?
Try contacting albertportis.  He has a knack for finding people what they want: new, previously owned, demo, etc.  He is a great person and extremely fair with his prices.  
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?

Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs
@brianslids  By the way I ended up going with Audio Research Ref6se pre amp instead of McIntosh and replaced my McIntosh Mono blocks with an Audio Research Ref160S Amp.  Again everything is updated on my system page. @m-db  You make some good p... 
Upgrading from Martin Logan ESL15a w/Force subs to Wilson Sasha Daw or Alexia 2 w/JL subs
@brianslids  Congrats!!  Way to go!!  After demoing multiple brands I settled in on a pair of S812's.  I also went with the Alexia's and am extremely happy.  As a former REL owner you know the benefits.....but the one I found most useful and succ... 
Shipping 80lb amps.
Use a freight company, palletize and strap the amps onto the pallet then shrink wrap over it so nothing can be placed on top of it.  Fragile stickers can also help.  Most importantly double box the amps. Good luck!  
Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
Happy to hear you went with Luxman!!  
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
Check out MSB Technologies.  Let us know what you decide to do and good luck in this journey!  
Which ones should I choose? Tannoy Kensington Gr or B&W 804 D4
I owned 804’s and therefore pick Tannoy’s.   
To ROON or not to ROON ?
You “have to Roon”. I have discovered so much new snd interesting music. Using both Tidal and Qobuz as well as a NAS.  Great high res music throughout the house and what a difference it makes.    go for it and let us know how you make out!!

Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations
Had a chance to demo the Luxman and  loved the musicality, detail and performance.  That's my vote.  
Computer updated and now Roon is blocked
You may want to try the dealer that you bought it from.  I had a similar issue and had to go into my settings on my iPhone (in your case computer) and reset a several of them.  Where are you located?  
WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Switching from SS amps to tubes was one of the best moves  I have made in my system. I went from McIntosh 1.25kwh Monoblocks to an Audio Research Ref160S. Have not missed my McIntosh at all. Much better SQ all the way around. You may want to find ... 
How good does my system have to be to realize an improvement with cables?
Since many of us have “upgraditis” I bought the best cables I could afford knowing that I will probably upgrade my dac at some point. I went with Transparent Power cord and Transparent XLR’s with Reference Quality. I have a Lumin T2 and when I swi...
