Streamer Recommendation

Which Server?  Judging by sound quality only and assuming the prices were the same, would you choose an Aurender W20, a Lumin X1 or the Antipodes CX+EX. I realize the Lumin X1 includes a dac and the others do not. Sound quality only please, not if it supports Roon or the ease of use of it’s user interface. I know, I know, having any of these is a great problem to have. Thank you for your thoughts

If I had a Lumin X1 I would first spend the $200 to buy this

to see if Fiber optical is actually noiseless. The X1 is already ROON READY so this could potentially be the simplest and cleanest sounding stream. I am not making any statements on the sound of the DAC, just the noise on the stream.
