Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok

I am ordering X1 now. I also have dcs Bartok using Mutec clocks(2MC-3+ Smart Clock USB and REF10). They are so different. I would say that you could trick out Bartok lots more. Lumin X1 is good as it is. Sound organic and have good dynamic. While Bartok is more fun and sounds little more on the darker side, which fit my stereo : AudioNet Max mono amp and pre G2 with Avior II Rockport Technology speaker. I am ordering X1 to use with jeff rowland continuum s2 int amp and Boenicke b10 speaker.

@djek -- I can tell you the X-1 that I used to own was extremely close to my Lampizator Pacific in SQ.  

That's $27000++dac. That's awesome.

The lumin x1 that is owned by me, was purchased because of its internal dac and streamer under one roof.  I own separate dacs and found x1 to be better and may be due to internal wiring that works better than dealing with all the separate interconnects and dacs to clutter up sound path.

Nobody enjoys dealing with inserting the variety of dacs offered. Separates have their place in a high end system but the dac I found makes sense to integrate within the streamer box and lumin does it exceptionally well. It even makes poorly recorded Great classical Rock music from the 70s sound really good and that's a huge deal.

My system also has a nucleus to host Roon and I wonder if I can do better here. Any ideas? I like the nucleus but it's a computer offering lots of noise

That is quite inconvenient for me. Yes, I want max fidelity. But, my wife will some time use her tv to listen to music and there is no connection for that.
