Reluctantly I traded in my DEQX Premate towards a Ayre KX-5 Twenty. And.. I couldn’t be happier. Even with all the available adjustments that the DEQX is capable of, the Ayre Preamp is just way better in sound quality.
It’s easy enough to use an external DAC and/or an external A/D Converter with a DEQX, while still taking full advantage of DEQX’s very extensive and in some ways unique DSP capabilities. Although most DEQX users who have posted here (including me, with my HDP-5) have been satisfied with the internal DAC and A/D.
