My 2 bits of recent experience:
This past October I had the Innuos Zenith -- Chord TT2 -- M. Scaler. It was incredibly detailed but found the sound a little thin. Happened upon a Lumin X1 (purchased here) and it literally blew my gourd. Every bit as detailed as the Chord stack but fuller, less fatiguing. Now putting the finishing touches on what I consider to be my endgame 2ch rig built around the X1.
I've been at this game a long time (just ask Lalitik), so I don't make this claim lightly, it's really that good.
