I can put in a good word for the Ayre. I owned the QX-5 Twenty for a while and really enjoyed it. I found it to be one of those "just works" pieces that never gave me any trouble and always sounded great. I used the network input as a Roon endpoint, the balanced headphone outputs with my Focal Utopia, and the balanced preamp outputs with my Genelec 8030C monitors.
