Sure, it was at home with ML 11A speakers, Luxman 509X amp, AQ Thunderbird Zero speaker cable. 218 and Lumin D2 were connected to the Luxman with AQ WEL unbalanced interconnects (swapped).

Used Roon playing Tidal. The 218 gave more instrument/vocal separation and depth, where the D2 gave more body to the sound. Tried a pair of AQ Fire balanced interconnect cables (a tad brighter) with the D2 and the sound became closer to the 218. The WEL interconnect cable has a very balanced and analog sound. The D2 seems to be a tad too warm and lack some resolution compared to the 218 and it showed with the WEL cable.

Also threw in my Marantz 8805 pre/pro using HEOS and native FLAC using AQ Fire interconnects. Wider sound stage and far more body than the 218. Surprisingly good quality, but lacked the crispness that a standalone DAC brings.

This is always system dependent. My current system is on the transparent and neutral side so it’s easy to hear the difference. For my taste I need the 218 with more body, which it seems you need to spend $3-5K more to get.
