They are both really good players but my vote goes to the C5xe. It sounds warmer without what that normally implies. To me, the D1xe sounds a touch sterile. The C5xe is one of the better players out there period. It offers about as good a sound as you are going to get without going into crazy money.
Ayre C-5xe vs. Ayre D-1xe
Hi. Can anybody comment on the sonic differences of these two players ? I´ve just scaled down my system from GNSC modded Wadia 581 going directly into a modded Ayre V-1xe and I´m now in the market for either C-5xe or D-1xe to be used with an Ayon Spark tube integrated and all Shunyata Research cabelling.
Furthermore I´ve learned that Ayre is cutting off their european distribution net work - is the company going to close ?
Thanks for any usefull input.
