Of course they're 'different animals' in terms of features but based purely on sonics, I much prefer the Ayre QB-9.
I heard a friend's W4S DSDSe and it has a similar slightly dark sound as the original W4S DAC2 that I once owned. The Ayre is in another league completely.
Many of the USB 'tweaks' and power mods that inmates are experimenting with are implemented within the QB-9 DSD.
I don't 'listen to' different drivers as I don't have to, yet it is quite clear to me that I am hearing something very special in the Ayre QB-9 DSD.
