Has anyone compared the DAC section in the new Cyrus Stream XP (v2) to the PreXPD Qx? What about the Preamp section, are they of similar quality in both?

I have the 8XPD QX currently, fed by Sonos. I am considering upgrade options, likely the X Power and one of the above two. I would want to at least maintain the DAC quality compared to what I have now. While the Stream XP option looks good, the lack of Spotify/Napster would mean we would still need to use the Sonos as a source at least some of the time (my OH only uses Sonos now and would be very upset if we lost it).

Anyone done a comparison?

I have the pre xpd qx and it sounds fantastic.. I went for a Naim streamer in the end as i liked the way it boosted the low/mids for my taste in music and wanted to keep source/amp seperate for future upgrades... Obviously thats an expensive route but 0% over 12 months and if i want to change or upgrade my pre power in the future i can.. I'd be interested to hear if someone has compared the two though.. If you can get a dem or the new stream xp /pre xpd and the pre xpd with a naim streamer i'd be interested to hear what you thought..
