How does the Audeze-X (2021) compare to the DCA Noire? Which is the better all-rounder?

If you're fine with the weight and size of LCD-X then yes. LCD-X has better dynamics, better bass (especially when EQed), more resolution and better controlled treble IMO.

Noire is better in every way if you provide adequate power. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, topping NX7 will do just fine.
