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?

An Aurender N200 and a Denafrips Terminator Plus 12th DAC can be had for similar cost as the A20 and X1....and that would be world class. I'd also throw the Weiss and T+A DAC 200 as options if one were so inclined. This is an excellent recommendation IMHO, unless you’re a Roon user I guess.
