| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Just found out the Ayre QX5 Twenty is releasing an update this week with full MQA decoding & I just bought the Dave and an Aurender. Oh well, I hope I am happy with that, could have saved money though. | |
| What commerical audio system tweaks provide sound quality improvement?? If you are using a computer to a DAC for digital, try a USB Disruptor and the accompanying USB cable, only around $170 for both. Sounds better than my $500 USB cable. Lower noise floor and can listen to for much longer periods without fatigue. Als... | |
| Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'? I used to have Watt Puppy 7's and upgraded to Sasha's. Love both speakers, just different. I have a room about the same size and thought the Sasha's would be too big. It worked out great and I am glad I do not have larger speakers. The Yvettes are... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? ctsooner, thanks for all your input. The Sasha's have plenty of bass. I listen to many types of music, love amazing vocals, lots of jazz, some electronic, love chill music like Thievery Corporation, some 80's music--mostly on vinyl...I have heard ... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Tough decision, I really liked the Ayre QX5/20, the T+A DAC 8 DSD and the T+A MP 2000R MKll but decided to go with the Chord Dave and an Aurender A10. There are better DAC's but this is my max price range. I will buy in about 10 days unless I hear... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? ctsooner, thanks for the input on the Ayre QX5/20. The totaldac is out of my price range. I did see a used one for sale, but for me right now, I prefer to have new with warranty since it is such a huge investment for me. I really like the Ayre bec... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? hgeifman, thanks for your input. I have heard the Ayre at one audio store and the Dave at another store. Of course each store prefers the one they sell. The Ayre had a smooth clean sound that I like but the Dave had the huge soundstage which I lo... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? wardl, thank you for the information. If I purchase the Dave, I will be using a MacBook pro with an AudioQuest Diamond USB cable. I also have a USB Disruptor. I would also be using at times a Rega Apollo R CD as a transport. I would use balanced c... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? The Bricasti M1 SE is excellent but I like the features of the Ayre QX5. Although the Bricasti is excellent I would choose the Chord Dave. With the Chord, I will have to still use USB from my MacBook to the DAC because of its price. I read this ma... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? I was in this situation a couple months back. I have Wilson Audio Sasha's. I was trying to decide between the Primaluna Dialogue PREMIUM HP, Pass Labs INT 250 and the T+A 2500R integrated. After listening to the two solid state amps, I bought the ... |
