Anyone have any info on it? Was to be out in September but can't get any info on it.

The QB-9 is, clearly, USB only and the newly announced DX-5 also has USB only input (per the Soundstage blurb). Reading the other forums, it's obvious that Charles Hansen thinks Gordon Rankin's asynchronous USB is "best" way to go.

The machine on the link Cmalak provided is for the new bluray/universal player. I heard that Ayre was coming out with a dac with spdif input-just like the new usb dac just w/o usb and w/spdif. Heard it was +/-$3,000US and employed the new digital upgrade. I haven't found any other info. Thanks for everyones inputs.
