Currently, I compare Bartok and X1 in a A/B comparison. I do not hear much differences (if any and only when I play selected songs). Maybe the Bartok has slightly more dynamics/resolution but I am still not finished with my comparison
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?
