Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe


I am loving the Ayre sound (V-5xe Amp, QX-5 Twenty DAC / streamer). My speakers are the new Revel F228be

While I think V-5xe is great, I am thinking of upgrading to the newer VX-5 Twenty. Just because.... I hear my sirens calling :-)


For you Ayre owners, is this a worthy upgrade?

Or should I consider another solid state Amp? Pass Labs come to mind

Thanks!

Ayre is good
ayre dartzeel ypsilon naim have lower negative feedback

again do not change ayre to pass labs
thyname, If you are so happy with the results of your purchase , then why are you now so soon looking to change your preamplifier to a Simaudio 740p not even Ayre.

Told you you should have gone with a Gryphon or Luxman integrated....
I was exploring various options Techno Dude. Ayre rocks! I never understood what's wrong with you Ayre haterz
 Not hating it, it’s just a much overated and overpriced product compared to whats on offer by other makers in 2018.
i think Charlies reputation as as engineers engineer and music lover is unassailable..especially by the mouthy peanut gallery
