Musical fidelity Nu Vista M3 vs Ayre AX-7e


Dear AGon fellows,

I am going to upgrade my MF M1 DAC/V-Link to Ayre QB-9 24/96 soon. I am currently having Nuvista M3 connected to M1 DAC via unblanced RCAs. As I heard Ayre QB-9 will perform the best only if unblanced XLR is used. So I am not considering let my M3 and get a matching AX-7e. My question is, is it definitely worth doing, please share some of your advices on Ayre vs MF integrated. I know the power handling are totally different, but considering all the factores, which set up can give me the best SQ for classical/jazz music.

Many thanks!

Bo.... The Wilson Alexandrias will not bring the best in sound regardless of the electronics used. Use Ayre equipment into good speakers (Vandersteen, Maggies, etc) and you will hear that Ayre is preferred.
