    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

    Lavry DA10 volume control problem

    I just got the DA10. I really like it but I notice that the volume control is difficult to adjust. When I increase the volume , the unit tends to react quickly, and jumps by 2 instead of 1. This is normal?

    What would be a good headphone to compliment the RS-1?
