Ayon CD2 is AMAZING

Guys,

Received my CD-2 on Friday and I'm still amazed and the unit has only about 20 hours. The soundstage extends beyond the boundaries of the speakers with palpable images you can almost touch. The Rega/Bryston combo is good but the CD2 is in another league. This unit captures the ambiance and nuances of the recorded venue with ease. I know layering and depth will come when the units has been run in and I'm looking forward to that day!

I'm definitely happy with my purchase

It looks like a Raysonic. When you spend that much on a player or dac, you're buying the whole package. Just look at the Chord QBD76. It's beautiful.

I've been eyeing the Skylla, and I'd really like to try it out. But couldn't have they put more effort into the entire package when it's selling for $7k (for the Skylla)?

"..yes if you want to spend an extra $2-3k for a pretty case. I wouldn't.."

I haven't heard the Skylla, but I have owned the Chord. I think it's safe to say both are state of the art. It's just that one looks like a Raysonic, and the other is the best looking DAC out there.

I think we can agree sound is foremost. But once you get to these prices, I repeat, you're buying the *whole package* - sound, build quality, support, and appearance (for some).

If this DAC sounds better than anything out there, I'll be the first to report back.
