BOW Technologies ZZ8 or Ayon CD2


I am considering one of these players as my next upgrade.
I will get to hear a Ayon Cd2 very soon but I will not be able to audition the ZZ8. So any opinions on how they sound should give me a hint on the direction I should be looking at.
I am mainly looking at accurate tone and timbre with a very natural realistic presentation and good PRAT.

Hi,JB
Finally , I got Symposium Rollerblocks II+ G3 under my ZZ-8.
I'm surprised the sound was improved a lot .
I really appreciate for your advice.

I'm considering to try them for my Tube Inti-Amp , too.

Yes, I was lucky to get latest ZZ-8 (2008/2009 version with power supply upgrade) . Still another 200HRs left for break-in . (Total 300HRs).
I was surprised to experience huge difference from Bel Canto PL-1A.
PL-1A was A-rated player , but latest ZZ-8 is much better (Another league).
I could become enjoy classical music with CDP.
I'm not sure what the sound will be after 300Hrs and change the fuse.
I was not sure how much CDP could improve the sound , but it really change the sound a lot. I recently listen old unused CD again.
One of the best redbook CDP , and the best CDP I have ever listened to. I would like to strongly recommend to listen to it. As for Ayon CD2 , I have not listened to it.
I was told Reimyo 777 and Wadia 861 are one of the best redbook CDP .
I have not listened to both of them , and hope someone to review comparison with Bow ZZ-8 2008/2009 .
Hi,JB
