Ayre AX-7e to switch to Naim Supernait

I have owned a Supernait and an AX-7e. I found the Ayre to be fairly detailed, but uninvolving. The Naim is much more revealing of musical nuance and also more full bodied. It also reveals more instrument tone. To me, the Naim is a much better amp. Of course, it is more expensive, and should be.
I have also owned two Naim XS's, and while I did enjoy them very much, the Supernait is a better in every way. I would say the XS is closer to the Ayre, although the XS is also more "musical" than the AX-7e.

Be sure to compare them with the same DAC or source. the Dac in the Supernait is, while pretty good, its weakest link, IMO. It is probably better than the HRT, however. It just pales in comparison to really pricey dacs. I was using mine with either an ARC Dac8 or a Naim Dac.
