ARC is doing a road show. Audio Concepts in Dallas is having an event on 1/31 to showcase the ARC Ref 10 and the ARC Ref 9. ARC staff will be there.

Ayre just reintroduced the QB-9 at CES with DSD. I'm kinda thinking it might be a poor man's EMM DAC2X.

It is not a poor man's anything. What it is, is an excellent DAC

Good question!

I bet it is. The previous Ayre QB9 sounded excellent - one of the best for the money that I ever owned. Adopting DSD is definitely a step in the right direction for Ayre.

I believe the CD9 sports the same DAC chip set as in the REF DAC. Do we know what that is? Thx

The 1792 is a sigma delta based DAC I think and not ladder R2R so I guess they could implement DSD if they wanted. I think Ayre uses a similar DAC chip?
