Great thread. I have loved the N10 since it first came out. My buddy has had nearly every other server in his room and so far nothing is close to the N10. I'm using the Ayre QX5/20 over the Chord Dave, which I like a TON. I actually just got a Mojo as I like what Chord does digitally. I know that Charles Hansen of Ayre used a spdiff input on his QX5/20, so that's interesting to see that is the output you guys are using. It makes sense that output could sound better than the USB. I have been hoping to use my ethernet input on the QX5/20 as it's internally, optically isolated, plus I use optical isolation within the room, but I will have to get it in the room and check out all the inputs.
