Ayon cd3 Versus AMR 777cdp

i have heard ayon players in an all ayon csystem at ces. i have also heard the amr 77 at ces and a stereophile show.

i can think of several digital sources i would rather own than the ayon, including audio research ref 7, lector 7 mk 1, reimyo, zanden, audio aero capitole mk 1 and the sony playstation 1.

the ayon players do not sound like there is a tube in them.

of course, it is all subjective, hence opinion.

a front row center perspective may be what you prefer , but it is a very forward perspective. i also question whether ayon players have a balanced frequency response.

if one prefers a mid hall or rear hall position, the ayon is not the answer.

i think the amr is less timbrally inaccurate than the ayon players.
