X40 is all in one for small load speakers (maybe) but has loads of other features. however I m posting it here for its streaming capabilities. ... built in storage (4TB), NAS, CD Ripping, AES/EBU, Toslink (optical), USB output etc. other featuers also exists.
Name sounds nice on a Friday evening here ...
It has ESS Sabre DAC (if we can ignore DAC this has good Streaming abilities )
Quality of the digital processing - needs to be qualified. My dealers wont give it for home demo. Either buy or never mind
