RE: Just to clarify

Blaming, Ayre, or the QB-9 for these kind of problems is in error. Windows requires a driver for proper operation with USB Class 2 Audio because of a Windows problem: non compliance with the USB Class 2 Audio spec.
I am sure the OP will get this all straightened out with the help of Ayre's (excellent) tech support.
Computer audio has bit if a learning curve to get the correct settings for bit perfect, high resolution playback with the various different software players. It is worth reading up on all the features of your chosen playback software, so that you understand how the options affect playback, and may affect sonics. With the Ayre, I would recommend sending only native file rates to the DAC, and letting the QB-9 take care of filtering/oversampling (via Ayre's proprietary algorithms).
Getting the right settings will result in improved sound quality as well.
