The Ayre and the exaSound are two very different sounding DACs. You'll have to spend a good deal of money to better your Ayre.

Interesting. I'll have to read the reviews again and probably 'read between the lines' a little with my decoder ring on. Unless you care to summarize in very simplistic 'bottom line' terms that standout in your mind.
From what I gather, exaSound DACs strive to be very neutral, clean, transparent, extended. All good things, but I've read this sort of description in linestages and power amps that I bought, some of which were not so enjoyable musically to my taste.
The Ayre seems transparent and smooth to me but not at all sterile or clinical with possibly a tad bit of warmth and body. It's definitely a very pleasant sounding DAC.
Am I on the right track? ;-)
You have it right.
