    Ayre Accoustics EX-8 2.0

    The Ayre EX-8 is an all-in-one device: an amplifier, a DAC, a network player, and a headphone amplifier. At the same time, the device retains all of Ayre's proprietary proprietary technologies, including a fully balanced analog circuit with zero feedback, a special digital filter that significantly improves the sound quality with any played file, as well as the ability to use asynchronous S/PDIF inputs (the patent is currently under consideration) to eliminate jitter without disturbing the original music data, as it happens in most cases.
