Gary at Ayre told me the DAC of the DX-5 DSD is excellent, but that of the QX-5 is even better. So primary setup remains QX-5/20 and DX-5 DSD sources to KX-5/20 preamp and KV-5/20 amp driving KEF Reference 1s, supplemented below 40 Hz by a pair of Velodyne HGS-15s. Secondary setup is ultraRendu USB to Codex, balanced analog to Ayre A7e integrated amp driving KEF LS50s.
