I heard the new Ayre universal player in my system and really liked it..... Much better than anything else I have heard so far. Then again I really haven't heard too many of the "SOTA" Cd players so....

Upgrade Rec $7K-$12K Range w/ Duos and Audiopax
At the risk of asking for a comparison of apples and grapefruits...
Am upgrading a Consonance Droplet 5.0 CDP (which I have really liked) for use in a system that includes Avantgarde Duo/Tron Syren/Audiopax 88s. Open to a very highly resolving presentation -- if it is a good complement to the tube/horn components it will be mated with -- although this would be a departure from what i am used to. SACD is not a necessity. Have bought into separates argument, but not wedded to it.
Short list now includes:
Esoteric X-01
Audio Aero Capitole
Accustic Arts Drive/DAC
Emm Labs DCC2/CDSD (SE?)
Any guidance on a good match would be most appreciated.
