Please recommend the replacement for my Apogee Duet
I'm looking for a new DAC with USB or Firewire to replace my Duet. I heard good things about Ayre QB-9 and I probably buy it. I think I would spend about 2500USD or less. Please recommend me the alternatives to Ayre QB-9.(Can I do better for this price range?) Thanks- freakmax

What would be a good headphone to compliment the RS-1?
I currently owned AKG K701 and RS-1. I found them similar in some way. Mostly I listen to Rock, Metal , Pop , Country and acustic stuffs. So far I prefer the RS-1 to K701. I need something totally different from the RS-1 and sound good with MAD ear+HD. Any thought?- freakmax
