Ayre QX-5 Twenty

Thanks for the info. You gave the Ayre a ringing endorsement to say the least!

With the QX-5, I assume there is no reason to have a separate server/streamer, which is a big savings as well.

What does the Ayer do better that the T+A cannot? I know you have very good experience with various DACs that you mentioned.

Forget about the Ayre. I owned the QX-5 twenty for some years. I liked it.

I decided to sell it and I purchased a MOJO audio DAC.

The MOJO blew the Ayre away. No comparison. The increase in SQ

was astounding.Check out Mojoaudio.com.You will see the multitude of awards.

that Mojo's products have garnered. Give Ben a call. He offers a 30 day audition trial. There's a demo Mystique SE on sale for $5999.

bander - "blew it away" huh?  On that advice, I'm gonna purchase a unit from MojoAudio??....who is this company.  2 men and a dog, in a garage??  A little bit of nepotism going on here?

jymc sorry you're having a bad day. You clearly don't know know about what you speak..
