| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Robster, see if you can make the trip to either CES or RMAF in the States as you'll see everything there, though it's not always possible to hear equipment in the most ideal circumstances given the environment at shows. | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Hi Robsker, sorry I did miss your point. One thing to keep in mind with full spread magazing write ups is, the Company being profiled has to pay a lot of money for that (around $10k for a full page ad) the last time I checked & that comes with... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Robsker, have you heard any of Ayon's top components in a good system to be able to comment with authority? When 6 moons rate the CD-5 close to the Accuphase DP-700 (which is more than twice the price), that strikes me as off the scales cost/perfo... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Hi Robster, you've got a nice system there. I never found a cd player at the price point you mentioned which I found either "the Bugatti" of audio or even a high end bargain..I always wanted a better player. As far as high end bargains go, design ... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Your experience sounds unusual Nikola, as Ayon products are known for their reliablity. If you were talking about old Audio Research, Levinson or EAR gear, i'd say fair enough. I can only assume that player had been stuffed around with, or a dodgy... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING 03-29-11: McondonMlb, Melbguy1, I am not a dealer and have no financial interests in any of Ayon's competitors. My forays into audio amount to a rounding error for me financially. If you read my post history, you will see that I have commented abo... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Mcondon, reading your previous replies to Ayon CD-2 threads, I can see you are a one-eyed Perfect Wave fan (which is fine) and your replies are usually even handed, however I don't think you should judge ALL Ayon players by one player (ie: the pre... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Budt, who said the player is 100% MADE in Austria??? If you re-read my last post, I said the player is fully hand-ASSEMBLED in Austria from parts sourced from Europe, Japan and elsewhere. The issue I have with your previous post is, you are falsel... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Budt, look buddy I agree with you questioning the genuiness of Jim's comments and his attitude, but I draw the line at misinformed assumptions about "Made in Austria". Really that has been done to death. Fyi, the Ayon's cases are made in China and... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Hi Wig, that's interesting. I'm not surprised you found such a wide difference with the Berkeley dac. Re: the CD-5s, there is a wide performance gap between the CD-2 & 5s. The CD-5s is built around a full Skylla 2 dac and features higher grade... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Jim, don't forget Wig only has the CD-2 (not CD-2s or 5s), and the Berkeley Alpha dac is a very good value high end dac. Robert Harley who is not known for his bs really liked the dac, and it supports formats the Ayon does not (eg: HDCD). Wig, if ... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Agreed Budt! I'm looking forward to borrowing a very good ear I know to help review my CD-5s in the near future & will post a review on AG. I'm a passionate audiophile & don't have time for shills either. Going back to the OP's question, I... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Budt, I hear what you're saying, and as I mentioned; i've been guilty myself of beating the barrel a bit too loudly that brand (Ayon). I recently bought the latest model CD-5s, but am holding off posting a review until it's played in & i've go... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Mcondan, without wishing to get into personal opinions, I agree with your comments referring the Ayon players overstated superiority are clearly not realistic. In Doug Schroeder's review, he rated the Perfect Wave stack as superior to the CD-2. Re... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING 03-18-11: BudtIf you read my post you will realize it wasn't directed at you.My apology Budt, I'll get off my goat now! That's water under a bridge, let's get back to audio talk :) |
