The Lumin X1 is a network player (streamer with DAC) which puts it in another category of products.

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

If I had a Lumin X1 I would first spend the $200 to buy this https://www.ui.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/ 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. |

You don't need to spend a lot of money. Take the Allo DigiOne Player for example. Also Check out the discussions on streamers at Audioasylum.com https://darko.audio/2017/08/allos-digione-pulls-five-star-sound-quality-from-the-raspberry-pi/ |
