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?
