Ayre CX-7e MP

Very nice, neutral sounding Top Quality Ayre CD-player.

“What I heard was a very transparent presentation (not analytical, up-front, or in your-face, though one will consider it to be perhaps more forward and lively than other players) that allowed for the music to flow in a natural sense. That is there was no artificial urgency or pretense to what one was supposed to hear – meaning that the Ayre has way less of a sonic character or signature than other players at a much higher price range; say—when compared to what I have here—$7k”.
