"Almost the same goes for Benchmark vs. Ayre QB-9 - comparable measurement"

err...no. the high FR measurements are not comparable at all.

look at those measurements again, even in measure mode, the QB-9 is 1.7dB down at 20kHz in comparison to the Benchmark's 0.2dB. In Listen mode the rolloff starts earlier and looks likes its greater than -3.5dB @20KHz, that's a dramatic difference. Finally, in fairness to Ayre, the measured performance of it's USB input is very good.
