Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???

Not yet as I wanted a different DAC and Stealth caps as well as a few other things.  As for TMP, I've heard it in a few systems now and it's crazy good as a server alone.  Just very relaxed with incredible timing.  It's by far the best digital I've heard to date.  

The DAC is not a quad DAC and it will have special power supplies etc...  All components will be within very tight tolerance's for sound staging etc...  I'll be using HRS Nimbus footers and the Audioquest Hurricane and possibly upgrading to Dragon as the Dragon upgrade on a source is the biggest bang for the buck.  We are shooting for the second week in Sept as I'm not in a hurry.  

@ctsooner What DAC are you talking about?

On Oct 10th, I'll be taking delivery of an all in one The Memory Player by Sam Laufer's company.  www.thememoryplayer.net   He has updated his DAC offering in the player and souped it up big time.  It's the best server I've ever heard by far and they upgrade it remotely on a constant basis as they learn more and more.  Lowest Jitter of any that I've ever seen.  

Wow, an old thread. Not sure what post was removed, but would love to have seen it, lol.  

Update.  I sold my QX5/20 and am using The Memory Player serve/streamer/Roon/DAC and analog volume control.  It's funny as the player has been constantly upgraded with new software monthly and all new hardware since 2018.  It's still the best sounding server I've ever heard.  My buddy who writes for TAS also says it's his favorite one.  He is getting the new Taiko Extreme in for a shootout so to speak, but he's had the other top servers in and still owns TMP as it sounds the best still with the upgrades.  I had them add a DAC and analog control so I can run them balanced into my Vandersteen MH-HPA. 

fun to go back and read about digital products that are a few years old now. Both Dave and QX5 are still outstanding.
