Both are high-performance network music players designed for hi-res streaming and playback, so they are very similar in terms of performance, features and capabilities. The Lina DAC X offers an alternative form factor for listeners who prefer the full width design and physical volume control. This sits alongside the Lina DAC, for those who prefer a more compact and versatile form factor. Either way, listeners will be able to enjoy the same exceptional clarity and benefits offered with dCS technologies such as the Ring DAC.
The DAC X does not currently have AirPlay support, though we intend to add this in future via a firmware update.
