It's a bit of a guess as I stopped counting after 200 hrs, but now with around 300hrs the DX-5 DSD sounds great, very open and large soundstage, coherent sound, pin point placement, and with a lack of better wording the music flows with ease.
In streaming mode (USB) it is silent, and the DX-5 switches on automatically when a digital feed is received from the streamer. (and switches off when no signal)
The upgrade was definitly worth it, will be ineteresting to see what Ayre's next step will be regarding DA converters.
