Ayre QB-9 USB DAC

Ryder, which PS audio dac was it?

Kschiu, the PS Audio DAC was a Digital Link III.

Ryder, I thought you were talking about the PWD. I'm interested in knowing how the "next gen" DACs compare with each other.

Kschiu, the Digital Link III is a fairly new DAC. My friend mentioned he also did a shoot-out between the Ayre and Perfect Wave DAC with all the different filters tested with the presence of two critical listeners. The Ayre was said to have won by a huge margin in resolution, separation, bass and soundstaging. According to them the differences were not subtle. Hope that helps.

I just had this in my house for two days and it was incredible. You really need 4GB ram on your computer though or it glitches.
