Lg, Jim Smith of "Get Better Sound" traveled around with an Ayre Acoustics QB-9 as he toured to perform his custom room calibrations. Good sound and essentially bulletproof.
DAC Portability/Durability
Wondering if anyone here has used a non-headphone-amp DAC as a portable device to be switched in and out of multiple sound systems frequently. I’m looking at trying to acquire something like a Chord Qutest/Denafrips Ares or Pontus/Topping D90 variant next year for my main system and would like to use the same DAC out in the workshop system instead of springing for a 2nd DAC, at least for awhile. Do these type devices stand up to this sort of use on a daily basis?
Thanks in advance…
