Lumin T2 or Matrix Audio Element X

Hi all,
I'm using a Node 2i streamer + Matrix X-Sabre Pro Dac at the moment. I'm looking for a single box streamer/dac with MQA decoding to make proper comparisons between Qobuz Hi Rez and Tidal Mqa as I use both of them. The Lumin T2 and the Matrix Element X are two solutions that I find quite interesting for a future purchase. Lumin is a well established company in the streaming market and Matrix is building really good DACs like the X-Sabre Pro. My question is if the ES9038Pro used in the Element X might be a plus with respect to the ES9028Pro used in the T2. The streamer/dac will be connected to a McIntosh MA7900 amp and Martin Logan Ethos (electrostatic speakers). 
What do You think?

Thanks for Your inputs. I'm going to buy one of these (or others if at the same level) within next month and every direct experience or suggestion is well appreciated. 
I can add that, as I already have two turntables (Transcriptor Hydraulic with Sme 3009 and Denon DL103 and Wilson Benesch the Full Circle), in a streamer/dac I like an open and detailed sound.
