Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok


Both of these beasts look like they could be that “forever purchase”. These are basically the newest offerings from both well respected companies and are within spitting distance of each other price wise  (without the Bartok headphone option installed). Anybody heard both and able to comment?

Does the X1 run Roon core or do a need another computer for this! Hope not at this price?! 
Yes indeed. I have an Innuos, but was hoping to sell and help fund this purchase.  I love Roon.  I understand this unit sounds fantastic and I like the simplicity and direct ethernet hook up. Bummer on the need for a separate wired/dedicated computer for Roon core.
