is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that it is your own ignorance you're talking about. May I ask which USB DACs you have heard that have allowed you to come to the conclusion that they represent an inferior technology?

You are entitled to your own opinion. When I heard several Linn servers (they were peddling servers at 3 different price categories) in an all-Linn system at a show I was not tremendously impressed...

With all due respect Audiofreak32 you are giving your own opinion. If there were one interface which was unquestionably better than all the others then that is all that would exist. There is by no means any kind of consensus here. Asynchronous USB...

Not really familiar with the QB-9 however I can say without a doubt that the Wavelength Cosecant is superior to the C5xeMP which I used to own. My brother says it is no contest vs. the C7 which he also owns.As you may or may not know, the QB9 uses... 
Best way to purchase/download music?
Second vote for HDTracks. Some nice high res stuff there too. 
Help Me select Mini
Why would 256gb SSD be preferable to 64gb if storing music on an external drive? Under most circumstances I'm using less than 1/3 of the drive - all that is really on there is the OS and the music software I'm using.Haven't tried a firewire drive ...

I just bought one - went for the base version with 64gig SSD and 8gigs RAM. Added external 2TB Thunderbolt drive for music storage. Works great - sounds great! 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I agree Gsself - and interestingly the one who started it ultimately hijacked it! Could be an Audiogon first! 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
Sorry Petty, only so much of this twisted logic, revisionist history and paranoia I can take. I see most gave up on you a long time ago - now I am doing the same. I'm outta here.

Petty, this is the last thing I'm going to say to you because I think this has been done to death:STOP TELLING ME WHAT I WANT!Believe it or not, I know what I want - and it's not what you seem to think I want- so stop thinking it!

Petty, the only one behaving with militant aggression is you. I'm guessing it's because you came onto a computer audio forum with your own anti-computer audio bias and agenda, posed a question and (surprise, surprise) were disagreed with. At first... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Petty, I seriously think you need to give up this audio hobby, sounds like it's stressing you out too much...

Petty, these are not threats or ultimatums. They are predictions. They may or may not come true. Nobody is putting a gun to your head other than you in your wild imagination - unless you're just messing with us."Soon all new music will only be ava... 
Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion
Haven't really compared FLAC or ALAC to AIFF or WAV but it makes sense to me that uncompressed would be theoretically capable of higher fidelity - no need for the CPU or software to convert on the fly. Storage space is extremely cheap, especially ...
