Simaudio Moon 740P preamp vs. Ayre KX-5 Twenty
I went to a Simaudio dealer today. Listened to 740P and a bunch of other Moon gear. Impressive! Although I realize it’s impossible to evaluate a Preamp given it being hooked up to unfamiliar gear and speakers. But it looked handsome and very nicel... 
Simaudio Moon 740P preamp vs. Ayre KX-5 Twenty
Got it @david_ten ... I often think the same.... going Integrated from the start would have been wise before I am deep in this rabbit hole. Something like Gryphon Diablo and such. Too late now

Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
I own the Ayre QX-5 Twenty. And I have heard DAVE three times in local meet ups. They are both great DACs. Ayre comes with an excellent streamer, and it’s significantly cheaper.

Oh I am keeping the QX-5 Twenty @david_ten . But I am thinking of running it through a Preamp . Everyone says sounds better that way. Gotta try to know , right?
