Ayre QB-9 DAC and QA-9 ADC Adds DSD

Jon Iverson  |  Jan 15, 2014

This year has seen Ayre add DSD capability to both the QB-9 DAC ($3250) and QA-9 ADC ($3950). Older QB-9s can be upgraded for $500 (makes everything sound better they say), and the QA-9 gets a free firmware update.

Hello, Any plans in the near future on doing a follow-up review of the updated QB9 DSD along with new measurements?

Thanks

I am waiting on a review sample, along with new firmware for my QA-9.

Thanks for the update John.

I think I'm looking forward to the review but I feel a bead of sweat forming on my brow and what's left of my wallet heading for the hills :(
