It is very hard for me to resolve the difference between the W4S DAC-2 with an Audiophilleo 2 for USB on the W4S and the QB-9. The Audiophilleo 2 was a minor upgrade over the stock USB. Both of the W4S and the Qb-9 are coming out in revised forms with DSD and other improvements.
Best alternative w/digtal inputs to Ayre QB-9 DAC?
I recently tried an Ayre QB-9 dac in my system and was very happy with the sound. I found it very musical with nice detail (for my taste). It was a big step up from my modified Transporter. I am looking for a DAC with similar performance but having a digital input I can connect to my Logitech Transporter (coax, BNC S/PDIF, or balanced AES/EBU digital output). My family (wife) is very happy with the interface on the Transporter (via the Duet remote) and we have no desire to switch to a PC or mac source so the QB-9 is not an option. My price range is up to $2500 on the used market. Thanks.
