I have had a Ayre ax7 for week. I didn't like it at all and neither did my girlfriend. So IMHO any Naim amp would be an improvement. But I think the supernait is overpriced but if you want in integrated amp with a DAC ut might be for you. However I wouldn't buy any DAC wether or not it is part of an amp or not without a asychrone USB input. I believe USB is the future of digital audio.
Ayre AX-7e to switch to Naim Supernait
I've been using an Ayre AX-7e for about 6 months now and am considering going to a Naim Supernait. The amount of flexibility the Supernait has seems intriguing but I have no dealer near me to audition. Does anybody have any experience with these two integrateds?
