A DAC is truly a very personal item when it comes to high end audio and how it synergizes with the rest of your system. I compared the Ayre QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC to DCS, Cord Dave/Hugo, Weiss, MSB, Hegel's top DAC and others. All were outstanding sounding DACs in their own way, but it was to Ayre that ultimately captured my heart. Also, the Ayre was a great value compared to some of the other much higher priced options. I purchased my QX-5 Twenty pre-owned which makes this word class, reference DAC an even greater value!!!
Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC
Had the Ayre QX-8 Streaming DAC for some time and it was an outstanding DAC. I just recently upgraded to the Ayre QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC. IMHO, the Ayre QX-5 Twenty Streaming DAC is one of the best DACs on the market today. Although not inexpensive, it's a big-time value compared to some of the more expensive megabuck DACs on the market today. An "AMAZING" piece of gear!!!!
