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.

Thanks for the update MusicFx. That's encouraging to hear. I already have the A10 but I know the DAC section could be improved upon. Juts curious as to why you sold your DAVE DAC (a comment you made in another thread)?

@musicfx: Thanks for your thoughts. As far as DAVE is concerned, it sounds like performance can be improved with their new mscaler.
