I heard a Raysonic the day it was unboxed as well. I fell in love with the cool look. It seemed very well built. I compared to a Shanling CDT100 and a Rega Apollo.
The Raysonic was detailed, but lacked the PRAT of the Apollo. The Shanling was neck and neck, and in some ways was better than the Raysonic. It was probably not fair to judge it straight out of the box, but it was the only one the dealer had.
The Apollo blew it away in terms of PRAT. I also did not care for the removable flying saucer shaped acrylic lid. I found it to be a nuissance. Not a big deal, but I was annoyed none the less.
I would be interested in hearing the Raysonic after a reasonable burn-in. But the dealer is selling them too quickly and always winds up selling the store demo unit because someone wants it.
