Ayre C-5xe or the CJ McCormack UDP1 Deluxe?
I was wondering if anyone has been able to audition both of these universal players (although the Ayre is only Audio - no video). I've read a few very good reviews on the Ayre, but very little has been written about the upgraded Deluxe version of the UDP1. If anyone has auditioned either or both of these machines, I would like to hear your thoughts. The list price in the US of the Ayre is $5950 US, while the McCormack lists at $3999 US. In Canada however, for whatever reason (exchange rates, customs fees, etc?), difference in price between the two units is only $700. These two universal player compete head to head based on cost.
Any info these machines is greatly appreciated!
