RE: OK, I gotta chime in too then ;-)

I'm reaching the conclusion that USB to the Ayre DX-5 DSD and Ethernet to the Ayre QX-5 Twenty are essentially equivalent in sound quality, and that having both in a single setup is redundant. So I think I'll use USB in the media room and replace the microRendu and Ayre Codex with the QX-5 in the living room. The media room setup will be DX-5 DSD, KX-5 Twenty preamp, KV-5 Twenty amp, and KEF Reference 1s supplemented by Velodyne HGS-15s controlled by a SMS-1 bass manager. The living room setup will be QX-5 Twenty, C-5xeMP, A7e integrated amp, and KEF LS50s.
