Hmm, I'm surprised there is a such a big difference in sound between MCD-500 and MCD-1000. Usually core characteristics stay the same in the family, with slight changes between models. It does sound like all of it is system dependent, maybe MCD 500 would've sounded different in your system as well?
I'm a little confused about your description of the Ayre sound though. I know it's hard to put sound in words. But for me there is a sterile sound, neutral and warm. I always thought that McIntosh and Marantz tended to be on the warm side. Where basically you have a very thick mid range, good base and detailed highs, but ones that never become edgy - even if they are on the recording. So how Ayre is different from McIntosh MCD-1000 and Marantz in that regard?
