I am mailing my Empirical DAC today to a lucky guy. I will get the QX5 unless I fall in love with another which is highly unlikely. I like what the Ayre will do and spoke with someone who's very familiar with a broken in one and he said it's a world beater. Not in the DCS vein, but said it's not far off either. It offers a ton and I was told the headphone amp is much better than the Codex. Don't know on that, but I am going to get the Melco and use it exclusively as my NAS. I do wish it had at least 6 to 8 GB of memory. Blackstone, can't wait to read your new thread. Thanks.
