Teddy Bear, I have only compared the Gamut CD3 extensively with the Eyre, and there was no real comparison. I lived with both for weeks, and the CD3 was clearly superior. Thats why I put it forward here, as others have mentioned the Eyre. One thing I do know is that it needs lots of running in to lose that slightly lean/metal sound out the box, and interconnects are important.
I dont know the Cary. Is it in the same price range?
The one I would be most interested in doing an A/B comparison with is the Esoteric X01D2, but that is in another price bracket.
