Aurender A20 or Lumin X1

I considering one of these as my next DAC/streamer. From a purely technical perspective, which one should I buy?

He told me that the Aurender folks are very responsive to any questions or problems.

Full disclosure I bought a used X1 and I’am bery happy. I have listened to both but not in the same room and it’s the room (the while shebang) that matters most.
