I also have the Ayre QB9 DSD DAC with a Mac mini as a server. The Audioquest diamond USB cable was a HUGE improvement over several other USB cables I tried. Cardas Transparent Nordost. Night and day difference. In fact I actually took a demo QB 9 back to the dealer when I first heard it with the Transparent cable.
Bought a Benchmark DAC 2 where I discovered the AQ cable. I realized the USB cable had a huge impact when we tried the AQ Diamond in a friends CH PRECISION DAC. So give the AQ
diamond a try if you want to hear how good that QB 9 can be! No affiliation with AQ btw.
