Well, I just got on the waiting list to have my Ayre QB-9 updated with the new analog section and DSD capability. I have read a lot of reviews that say this is a killer upgrade to the QB-9's sound quality. I'm hopeful, as I have recently compared my QB-9 to a friend's Esoteric DAC and the Esoteric did some things better than my DAC. It will be nice to compare the two again after I receive my DAC back.

On another topic, has anyone heard the meitner MA-1 DAC? The reviews are quite interesting, as this DAC provides 2x DSD upsampling for all PCM playback! It has quite a lot of technology, including what they say is "the world's best DAC/clock combination". If you have listened to this DAC, please let us know what you thought of the sound. Thanks.
