Ayre C-5XE universal v. CX-7e on redbook CDs?


Has anyone had a direct comparison at home with redbook CD on the Ayer C-5xe universal v. the CX-7e CD player??

I want to upgrade my CD player next month and although I enjoy listening to SACDs and have about 100 SACD's I am not sure its worth the extra $2500 for the C-5xe player unless redbook CDs are a huge amount better on this universal player? I have heard the CX-7e and love it for redbook.

Have you found that both players sound pretty much the same for redbook or is the C-5xe really a huge amount better?

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks again Ed and Analogtroll for your opinions and comparisons with the Ayre players. Yea, cant go wrong with either one for sure. Guess we will see if I can come up with the scratch to splurge on the C-5xe since it is a bit better player all around and has the bonus of SACD which I enjoy listening to.
