DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777


I am upgrading my digital front end and need some feedback from you guys. I am considering Accustics Art, Ayon CD5S or Skylla, AMR DAP 777, Bel Canto 3.5

I know AMR and Bel Canto are not the same price range, but they are good. I don't like more analytical character DAC, I am using Conrad LS26, Cary 805.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi Teajay,

Thanks for the feedback, I read your review on AA and it is very good insight.I listen to all of the DACS but they are in different system, so it is hard to judge. I have a chance to compare AMR to Vinyl system and they carry some similarities. Which DACS from above did you compare to AA ?
Hi Teajay,

I like to have the functinality for USB inputs, Concert Fidelity is not an option at this point. What do you like the most about AA ? Do you have a chance comparing it to vinyl system ? What don't you like about AMR ? I try to assess the overall character and performance.
I am using YBA cd right now, it is not the most transparent, detail, and highest resolution but very captivating. I didnot have the immediate impression while listening to AA. I felt the bass is not as tight as solid state DAC. Thanks for your time.
Thanks guys for the feedbacks, I guess I can't go wrong with either Ayon CD5S vs. AMR DAP 777.

I was listening to Ayon CD 5 and CD 5S on separate occasion, they are very impressive. I need to find out the difference between these two.

If I go with AMR, I need to figure out the transport, my YBA CD3 is acting weird once in a while.
