Sounds exciting. Also have something of my own to share in the other thread.

Ayre QX-5 Twenty First Listen
Awesome CT! Post pics! Love the led floods idea. I am thinking about doing that in my room. Special lights to highlight speakers is pure mancave excellence. I approve.
How about color changing floods like the Phillips Vue? |

Will, do you have a link to the thread?
Blackstone, just an LED light in color correct temperature. The Havana Black is a highly metallic and difficult to shoot paint. It's the darkest of browns. It looks black and not brown at all, but the flakes shimmer a coppery color. No need to use other colors ....I'm using a smaller can like at a museum. I'm also having him install an outlet behind the TV/amps rack so i don't have the Niagara's cable running on the wall where you can see it, lol. I'll have him do a doubled up run of 14/3 with all star grounded into a totally new earth ground on a 20amp circuit. All the romex will be run commercial style inside metal conduits. The outlets are all Audioquest NRG whatever outlets. I'll have an outlet behind each of the Quatro's for the subs. I'm making a set of maple lifts to get the speaker cables off the carpet too .

That's a nice read. Basically sums up what the QX5/20 does and sounds like. I wish he did more on the ethernet vs USB connection though, lol.

My QX-5 finally arrived and it is set up. Since I have been without a DAC during the wait I did not sign up for Roon until today. So, that load is taking a while. But, I set my Ayre CX-7 CD player thru the QX-5.
It's really too early to tell about sound. It has been all of 6 hours burn-in. It is clear, though, that this is an improvement over the CX-7. Much better detail and air. I need a magic "burn-in" wand. |
