Of course you did. Many of us have the QX5/20 and bought it over all the Chord DAC's. Many have the Dave and love it. Different ears for all of us and different fits depending on the systems too.
Matt, everyone is excited for you to get the DaVinci into the system. It will be interesting now as you review TotalDac and some others as they come along. How close will they come to a 35k DAC is what I'm interested in. I think that's the real question. How close are we with 10 or 15 or 20k DAC's. For many there is a point of no return, but for most, there is a line that can't be crossed. I found that line to be 9K for the Ayre QX5/20, but I really liked the sound of the Brinkmann also for 14k I think it is. It was very organic as I posted many many pages back. I need to go listen again as they have a QX5/20 there too so I can listen in the same system in a room I know the sound of. Should be fun.
