I recently just bought one too. Out of curiosity, how much did you pick yours up for?
Best comment yet on my system - Ayre QB-9 DSD
I recently added a QB-9 DSD to replace my Micromega MyDAC and got quite an interesting comment from my girlfriend last night.
We spend a lot of time in front of my system, so she has grown to appreciate what high quality audio has to offer. Last night however I asked her if anything sounded different to her since adding the DAC. She laughed and said that she's not a techie but it sounded like I didn't turn on the right or left speaker, which is funny since it's a 2-channel system.
I think she put her finger on what the Ayre has done to my system. The soundstage has become more seamless, more dense and focused. My speakers have truly disappeared.
Overall I could not be happier with my "new" DAC, but thought it was a cool comment that you all may get a kick out of.
