Ayre ex-8 2.0 vs Bel Canto e1x

I am on the market looking for an integrated with streaming (Roon ready) capabilities for a 2nd set-up. I ended up with the Ayre ex-8 and the Bel Canto e1x on the shortlist.

Both are in the same price range and with similar features, although I feel reluctant to move to a class D amp (more based on feelings than on facts).

If anyone ever demoed both amps, please feel free to advise.

Thanks
