Thanks for the input guys . I haven't made up my mind yet , but you have been a big help . should have mentioned I'm using ( injoying ) Ayre's KXR preamp , Revel Salon 1's , and levinson #431 amp . MAX
ARC CD8 or Ayre C5mp .
The Ayre gets all the press and then some , but can it be as good as ARCs new CD8 ? The CD8 s cost is twice that of the C5mp and uses tubes . Im not a big fan of tubes , but maybe tubes would be the answer when it comes to digital . P.S. my distaine for tubes is not sonicly induced . Comments please .
