| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Troy, thanks for clarification. Regardless, Ayre will offer upgrades via software and also hardware as needed. Different implementation and both great products with different sound. All is good. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Troy is just mistaken as he doesn't sell Ayre and probably isn't up to speed on it like he is the Aqua that he sells. The Ayre is very easy to update. Ayre as a company has one of, if not the best track record of offering fairly cost updates for ... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Waiting on my Vandersteen Quatro's to be built and delivered. Very excited about this upgrade. I never thought I'd be in the position......ever. Cant' wait. Audi Havanna Black paint and not the wood finish too! | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Very well put for sure. To me these shoot outs are nice to read about and if you know the ear of the person posting, you can whittle things down a bit possibly. I'll probably take you up on a visit that first week of April. Have to watch daught... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. Tim, that may sound best for you and that's awesome. We all have our passions in audio, but to make some of the statements you make are not correct. There is not scientific measurement to say any speaker or sub is the best way to do it. There ar... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Music, what type of music do you listen to most of the time? Have you listened to the Dave and QX5 yet? If not, you probably want to try and get both into your system. I spoke with a few guys in the last couple of days about this thread. A few... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I'm so happy Bob. So glad that you love them and will give them a great home. I know it sound stupid, but when you sell your gear to someone who appreciates it, it makes you happy, lol. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? So many don't fully understand how important servers and their connections really are. That's why it's so hard to do DAC shootouts etc..., plus personally I feel you need to have the DAC's in your system all warmed up for at least a week to tell ... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Thanks Mike. Wow, that's not inexpensive gear. A step above what I can do, but you done good. Have heard great things about the server as well as that DAC. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Edgy quality for the Ayre? How many hours did it have on it? The only time I've heard that word IRT the Ayre is when it didn't have about 500 hours on it. It does take that long to break in, but when it does, it's as musical as most any DAC rega... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Totaldac was brought up earlier and he said why pay that much when you can get the QX5/20 for so much less. It's great to bring up used DAC's, however they are not always available and he stated that he wanted new. Don't blame him a bit either. ... | |
| Proac D48R I have found that in general, most speakers will not over power a room. It's all about room treatments no matter what you run as a system. They don't even need to be expensive. Folks seem to worry about the bass. That's the biggest reason I we... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Thanks for sharing. Have heard good things about Mike, but never knew where he was. I"m heading down to Lido, where my sister lives in a month or two. I"ll need to call him to meet him. Had no idea he had such nice products there.Did you ever he... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Music, I wish you could take both home and listen for a few weeks. The OSDE/SE I used to use throws a bigger stage than the DAVE. It's the largest soundstage I've ever heard in a DAC regardless of cost. There is a HUGE thread about the DAC shoo... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation NYC, yes, you have a killer set up. Wait until you get that system burned in, lol. Johnny is as good a set up guy as you will find anywhere. Keep us posted on break in. |
