QB-9 Twenty USB DAC

Description

The QB-9 Twenty has held its place in Ayre’s history as one of our most popular products ever. The hyper-focused functionality of our USB input only DAC design allowed us to scale up in parts quality everywhere we could; putting this little converter closer to our flagship digital product the QX-5 Twenty than any other product in our lineup.

We have a small batch of QB-9 Twenty’s that have been built using the remaining stock of chassis materials.

These units are being offered with our full Five Year factory warranty.

Secure one for yourself today before they are gone; again!

Domestic Orders will ship in 2-3 business days.
