The QB-9 requires a lot of burn-in time.  The treble might seems bit bright at first.  Give it about 200 hours.  I think the manual recommends 300-500 hours of burn-in.
 

Yes, the manual mentions 100 - 500 hours. And I am using silver cables which makes brightness more present.
But I am already enjoying it. I always break my equipment as I use it.

Take it for what it's worth but just spotted this on the Steve Hoffman forums...

Anyone compare the Ayre Acoustics QB-9 DSD to the Auralic Vega?
