"I am planning on a cap upgrade to the amp as well. With the quality of Cayin and Prima Luna, it seems like a few tubes and caps might get you close to the very expensive gear."

I've done just that with a Triode Corp. single ended EL34,6550, KT88 amp. I suspect you get similar results with the Cayin. FWIW, boutique caps may not offer the *best* results.
