The best value high end USB DAC of all time just got a lot better! The QB-9 Twenty update is a significant improvement to our most popular product. The Twenty upgrade for this USB DAC is more than just the new ESS chip and improved clock. This upgrade includes a vast amount of improvement taken directly from our top of the line R series. The Diamond output circuit improves musicality and bass response. Our new JFET differential stage lowers the noise floor and the AyreLock power supply regulation improves rendering of fine musical detail.
Here is what QB-9 Twenty owners are saying about the upgrade.

I received my unit and just gave it a several hour workout. Sounds fabulous! I love all the nuance and details I didn’t hear before. Don’t know how you did it, but some of the best money I ever spent. Thank you. –David T. (Vienna, VA)
