At CanJam, I Liked a lot the AYRE QB-9 driving a BHSE electrostatic headphone Amp + Stax SR009.
Now that I owe myself a BHSE + Stax SR009 I need a new DAC.
but.... Since the Stax SR009 can sometime be on the bright side, I need to be sure that the DAC Is NOT bright ! In fact I look for a DAC with a signature close to the QB-9, but just... better.
So my question is: is the QX-5´s sound signature In the QB-9 style (but better) or totaly different ?
--> Is the QX-5 warmer or brighter than the QB-9 ? Warmer or brighter than the DAVE ?
Thanks In advance for your advice for a very good DAC for my BHSE/SR009.
