Audio Aero Capitole Classic vs. Ayon CD-2

Hi,
I want to know if anyone could compare the Audio Aero Capitole Classic (or other version) vs. the Ayon CD-2. Both have tubes and balanced outputs, that´s what I´m loocking for.
I will apreciate your opinions, experiences and suggests.
Tahnks.

I have a AA Capitol Classic SE and an Ayon CD-5. I have compared them side by side for several months.

I always like the AA better. It is smoother and has more air around the voices and instruments. It has a delicateness and a inner-soul that the Ayon does not have. True- the Ayon is slightly more dynamic and slightly more transparent- but not by much. The air of the AA and the rythmic musicality in my opinion are superior than the Ayon CD-5. I like it better overall

I agree- the AA does have more of a veil and is less detailed. It is without a doubt less accurate than the CD-5.

However- I like that veil. it is not a dark veil- rather a delicate very properly applied veil. That veil in my opinion is the soul of the AA. That veil is what makes the AA sound so delicate, soft and engaging. it is what pulls me into the music. The AA is an emotional machine. The Ayon is certainly not a pure intellectual machine- it is a hybrid emotion/ intellect machine. I guess it depends where your tastes lie.
