I’m interested in one of these. Plan on running with revel f228 full range for streaming only. Just curious if anybody is running one and what they think of it. Thanks.
The EX-8 has just been upgraded by Ayre to run cooler and deliver more power. I liked the sound of the original EX-8 much better than the AX-5 but not everyone agrees. It was a major step up from the AX-7e and Ayre Codex I was using. Sounded great with my Harbeth's and with the Vandersteen Treo's which replaced the Harbeth's.
I almost bought the EX-8 but settled on the Aesthetix Mimas instead. You should try to hear it with your speakers before you buy. Good Luck!
I don't own an EX-8, but do own the QB-9 Twenty, which Ayre, as told to me by Ryan Berry told me is similar to the newer Ayre DAC models. In any case, I doubt you will be disappointed. Bob
