Esoteric vs. Ayon?


Is there anyone out there who has heard both the Esoteric X03 SE and the Ayon 2s cd players? Please weigh in. Thank you.

I have the X-03SE; excellent player that leans to neutral. Have listened to the Ayon 5s and it is a more musical, full bodied sound. I did hear it in an Audio Pax system, all tube and that may have helped! I bought Esoteric with idea they will service the transport longer.
