    No, I wanted to, but haven't found any to demo. I have noted many for sale lately, something about a bridge that PS promised to build, but seem to have changed their minds.

    Not really. I just thought maybe I'd go slumin for a kick. :D

    I haven't even hooked up my CD system for almost a year but got to looking at these, an Ayon and an Ayre.

    I haven't heard the PW combo, but supposedly the W4S DAC-2 and PW sound very similar.

    Which model Ayon? I've recently heard a CD-2, CD-5, and W4S DAC-1 and DAC-2 in the same rig. All sounded good, but each had a different presentation.

    I heard the ayon on my sound labs at the dealer it was decent I guess it was a bit forward than some I have heard. Since it was an sacd player we moved quicly to his vinyl rig so I did not listen more than 30 minutes or so.

    The CD-2 is a little forward, the CD-5 is warm with more low end.

    I decided to pull the trigger on the Ayre CX-7eMP. I'm not all that interested in SACD at this point and I read where the 7 had the edge over the 5 when it comes to CD's which is the majority of what I would play. Wish me luck!

    I considered that but decided I didn't care. So long as it does regular CD's well I'll be happy for now. ;)

    I got the Ayre yesterday and played it all day. Its the best sounding CD I've heard to date but its not my turntable, thats all I can say...

    I guess a tick and a pop now and then is worth it.
