I have only heard the Ayre in a Hi-Fi Shop IMO vastly overpriced, I much prefer the Sony.So if the first Ayre was such a great player as extolled by JA in Stereophile why did it have to be upgraded into a second version. Exactly the same mistake was made by Stereophile when they proclaimed on their front cover AS Good as SACD can Sound The dcs P8i player, I had a demo of one at home by dcs and I would not give £500 for it let alone the rip-off £8K asked. This player eventually was turned into a MK2 version still at a rip-off price that some people are crazy enough to pay. Anything recommended by JA should be very carefully auditioned before purchase.
