Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok


Both of these beasts look like they could be that “forever purchase”. These are basically the newest offerings from both well respected companies and are within spitting distance of each other price wise  (without the Bartok headphone option installed). Anybody heard both and able to comment?

jriggy,

It's an interesting idea.  Used microRendu units are pretty reasonable and 2.8 card from Sonore to update to use the idea not very expensive.  It appears to me you could access the cd stream from Roon.
ozzy,

Yes, the X1 has a single USB that can be used either for input or output.
