Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???


Down to two choices in DAC's, the Chord Dave or the Ayre QX-5 Twenty. Comes down to best sound or versatility and cost. Speakers are Wilson Audio Sasha's and amp is T+A 2500R. Love the versatility of the Ayre but the sound of the Chord Dave is phenomenal, not sure if the Ayre could compare. Not sure if the Chord would still sound as good without spending mass amounts on a power regenerator and power cable.

Musicfx,

Are you still happy with your Dave and Aurender setup?  I'm looking at both DACs(QX5 and Dave) as well but leaning towards the qx5 since I have a 5 series Ayre pre and amplifier.   

I personally like the steampunk look of the Dave though.
