Lumin X! Receiving Player Input Other Device

[further]

I am contemplating adding an Antipodes K50, which has both server and player functions, but no DAC. I have other DACS in addition to my X1. How does the X1 handle another player input to it--does the already rendered player info go directly to X1 DACs or does the X! reprocess the already rendered player info with Lumin rendering before DACs or is a problem/error anticipated doing this? I believe the K50 can be setup either as Server only or ServerPlayer in setup which could prevent an issue. However, I am interested in comparing the sound of Antipodes rendered player to the X1 rendered streaming on the X1 as well as streaming to other DACs.

For current Lumin products, there is no digital input other than (copper or fiber) Ethernet.

There is no way to get into the X1 internal DAC without using the X1 internal renderer.
