randerson3024 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I just took mine into Norman Audio in Singapore for for the hi rez 192 upgrade. Has anyone else done this? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they tell you parts they change exactly? With your stax headphones, does it sound too analytical/bland compared with your other dacs?

randerson3024 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 A new chip and firmware I think. It was just offered to me, and is brand new. I would check with your dealer. It will handle 192 such as RR HRX recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogue Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Interesting. I wonder if there is any benefit beyond 192 support? If not, I probably won't upgrade for the time being. The 96/192 offerings currently out there are slim, especially in terms of older recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randerson3024 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I am also auditioning Crystal and Siltech USB cables that seem promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelius Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ayre QB-9 w/ USB Audio v2.0 is here w/ Linux. Update: It WORKS! | Computer Audiophile perhaps germane to what you're discussing...hopefully it won't be long before i can find/afford an updated black qb-9 at a used price...

spritzer Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Necro bumb. I've been thinking about picking up one of these for a while now but 230V units are pretty thin on the ground. Does anybody know if the transformer has split primaries so I could just modify a 115V unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey Birgir. I emailed Ayre about that when we moved to 230V territory and they told me to forget it. Whether that means it can't be done, or whether they just didn't want me diddling with it, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Most manufacturers would never allow the end user to mess with this but I do wonder if it is possible to do so. The pics I've seen just show two wires going to the IEC socket but they could be hiding two more somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 That seems an interesting USB DAC. Keep us posted Birgir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Will do. If you see a 230V unit let me know. I'll also have to ask Ayre and see if I can buy one directly from them since there is nobody here who represents them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 This is the best shot I've got. And it doesn't help at all. Tell me what you need to see and I'll go find the right Allen key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I need to see how many wires enter the transformer on the left side of that picture, between it and the display. A picture of the side of the transformer (which faces the PCB's) would also be nice since that's where the specs are printed. If this is a stock unit then I could just buy another one and swap it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
