Lumin X1 or dCS Bartok

I prefer my X1 playing files in their native format and resolution. I'm not sure how it would be possible to sound more liquid than it does already!

Thanks, I will have a look at them. I tried the Isoacoustic footers but prefer it without. 

Interesting comments. Can you please expand on the differences between the X1 and Bartok and why you preferred the X1.

I have an Ayre QX5 and a Mytek Manhattan II, both using the latest ESS chips, which I find extremely good. I prefer both of these to the Chord DAVE/Blu 2 which I owned. I've also been considering the Bartok, but wondering whether it is a real upgrade.

Thanks, that is helpful (and surprising!).
