Overview and
Introduction
The integration of the personal computer (PC) into
the home stereo system has provided a revolutionary
way to purchase, organize, and play your digital
music collection. The Ayre QA-9 analog-to-digital
(A/D) converter provides an equally revolutionary
way to store and play back your analog music via
your PC with unprecedented fidelity and realism.
The QA-9 is available in two versions, both covered
in this manual. The standard version include both
USB and AES/EBU digital outputs and will meet
the requirements of virtually all users. The Pro
version adds both DSD and word clock outputs for
simplified use in a professional studio environment.
The QA-9 utilizes opto-couplers to provide total
electrical isolation for the connections between your
computer and music system. This minimizes the
introduction of unwanted radio-frequency
interference (RFI), generated by all computers.
Avoiding the use of wireless networks (e.g.,
Wi-Fi), by employing wired connections instead,
will reduce RFI levels in your home and results in
improved sound quality for any music system.
