I got one of the first QX5/20's. It replaced one of the best DAC's I've heard in my Empirical Audio ODSE/SE with every upgrade Steve made. Totally different DAC's, but the QX5 has just as much micro and macro detail, but is more musical. Just a great DAC for sound alone. My friend and I havce been doing a shootout with servers and so far the Aurender N10 has bested virtually every server under 30k you can come up with. The computer based ones aren't even on the same page.
