Yeap, the DAC2 lower price + all those included features make me wonder. Many good comments about its sonics, although not much about the USB input. The DAC2 would allow me to use this DAC for my CD player used as transport plus use a computer...which would be nice.
I know Ayre's reputation, and the QB-9 seems to be a great unit. Somebody on this forum mentioned it sounded thin to him. What's your experience, meaning what have you been able to compare it to? I'm thinking it would nicely complement my tube pre and amp.
