“… I think this is one of the most transparent and realistic sounding DACs available. It makes instruments and voices sound more real than other very good converters and has as natural a sound as the best turntables” 
Ayre QB-9 DSD 
  – Jason Kennedy, The ear 

“…one thing I can say for sure is that is that all if you want is to listen to really amazing-sounding music, pretty much no matter the genre nor format, and you're willing to invest $3250 into the QB-9DSD, you will not feel disappointed. This is truly going into the audio hall of fame.” 
The Ayre QB-9DSD and the State of the Art 
  – Andy Schaub, Positive Feedback 

"Providing significantly greater performance than any similarly or lower-priced alternative, and undoubtedly one of the best computer-audio DACs now available regardless of price, the QB-9 is a watershed component in this watershed year. It is what it is, nothing more, nothing less: a USB DAC unabashedly focused on making the best possible computer-audio sound for the least amount of money."

  – Peter Roth, Ultra Audio 

"The QB-9 asynchronous USB DAC is Ayre's first entry into the USB DAC market. Based on performance Ayre has hit a home run on its first plate appearance."

"I'm sure the QB-9 isn't Ayre Acoustics' or Gordon Rankin's last thought on getting digits out of computers, but they've set themselves a pretty darn high bar for the future. I can hardly wait."
