Ayre QB-9 vs. W4S DAC2 thru USB?


I've seen very good comments about the QB-9 performance, obviously thru its USB input.

I've seen good comments about the DAC2 in general. But was wondering if anybody had a chance to compare both thru USB? Also, please tell me about the computer you were using. I'm new to PC audio...so bare with me!

Thank you!

When you eliminate the dealer markup you can sell an audio product for a lot less. Don't let the W4S reasonable price deter you; it is worth 2-3X its price, and would cost that much if sold through a dealer network and the cosmetics were gussied up. I think it is a stellar product, and I have been listening to CD's since my first Magnavox CDB 350 (650?) back in 1986.

No dis to Ayre, which has a first rate reputation and deservedly so.
