Lyngdorf MD-60 vs Audio Control Maestro X9

Does Anyone have experience/knowledge on the two channel playback capabilites of the Lyngdorf MD-60 and Audio Control Maestro X9? I plan on the purchase of one of the aforementioned within the next 2 months.  I am aware of the ESS DAC chipsets of the Audio Control which is a buying point for me and the Lyngdorf's video capabilities with HDMI 2.1.  I plan to utilize the preamp processor for three functions 2 channel playback (stereo listening), home theater and PC gaming in excess of 60 fps at 4K. The way I am looking at it is if there is no audible differences between the Audio Control and the Lyngdorf I would lean in the direction of the Lyngdorf because of the HDMI 2.1 capabilities.  All advice/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
