From my experience, the EX-8 is remarkably resolved and pacy without calling attention to itself or feeling unnatural the way my Devialet 220 did; the Ayre is no-holds barred superior in terms of overall musicality. While it does not have an in-built killer phono-stage or variable damping like my Gold Note IS-1000, by far the best single unit option for analog-led systems with high-efficiency speakers, but works better with my current speakers which are underdamped, inefficient, and a touch rich (but I love them). What the EX-8 also has is microdynamic excellence, a massive and highly detailed soundstage, natural timing, silky but not oversweetened highs, and an uncanny absence of grain throughout. It is a remarkably wonderful sounding and very convenient system.
For matching with your LG OLED, the SPDIF on the EX-8 has a useful video mode (which cancels the asynchronous input in order to match your tv's native clock and video framerate).
I cannot recommend the Ayre highly enough for most systems. Would also look at the Gold Note or the new Hegel H590 closely if shopping in this price bracket for a super integrated (the prior for its use of its tube-like low damping setting with high-efficiency speakers, the latter for relentless drive and accuracy with any ridiculous difficult speaker load).
