Streamer Recommendation


Which Server?  Judging by sound quality only and assuming the prices were the same, would you choose an Aurender W20, a Lumin X1 or the Antipodes CX+EX. I realize the Lumin X1 includes a dac and the others do not. Sound quality only please, not if it supports Roon or the ease of use of it’s user interface. I know, I know, having any of these is a great problem to have. Thank you for your thoughts

The W20 is still available. The W20 SE  is an upgraded version. Pretty sure you can upgrade the from the 20 to the Se
The Lumin X1 is a network player (streamer with DAC) which puts it in another category of products.

If I had a Lumin X1 I would first spend the $200 to buy this

to see if Fiber optical is actually noiseless. The X1 is already ROON READY so this could potentially be the simplest and cleanest sounding stream. I am not making any statements on the sound of the DAC, just the noise on the stream.
Is the unifi switch the same solution offered by small green computer with the systemoptique where you have ethernet being converted into fiber optic?
