Ayon CD5 or a super DAC with high resolution files

the ps audio dac is good but still a few steps behind the Ayon Skylla 2 ,or dac5s just read the reviews on Dogogo and Doug did 2 reviews and agrees the Ps audio is Very good but still 2nd . It is not as natuaral sounding a lot has to do with the 1704k dacs which are considered my many the best Multi ladderbit dac ever made Esoteric,Accuphase, Lector Prime, lessloss, and several other companies agree,
they are no longer made but stock is still available.
the build quality in the Ayon products is much better than
the majority, and this Vacuum tube digital is the most
natural sounding digital I hav ever heard and the preamplifier section in the MK2 is fantastic and give many big names units a run for the money with it's sysynergy all in one unit .

Buy the Bryston player with the Berkeley dac-2 and you will thrilled ,make sure to use a first rate USB cable , as well as digital I use the Wireworld Platinum for both .

I heard the Skylla 2 dac which is the same as the cd5 and actually has more power supply reserves for the 3 great
R core transformers they use with the cd5 it also has to run the transport in the skylla it has that extra reserve
it sounds fantastic better then the Berkeley or Wiess IMO
and this is what I now have on order to complement the
superb Bryston player it is like having a very good turntable with several advantages your whole hirez and redbook library on a usb external drive and a Ipad using mpad to cal up alll your cds with the great looking album art.

I would also like to mention that I spoke with the engineers at Ayon
On they stated without any hesitation that the preamplifier section
In the Skylla -2 dac is better than in any integrated amps including the
Ayon Triton -2 ,that is why I chose buy the Skylla -2 for the dac is one of
The best analog sounding dacs out there and the single ended class- A
Preamplifier in there is at least as good than the majority of preamplifiers in the
$5-6k range I have had 3 in this price range and can say this .A lot has to do with the Very high quality of parts and the short signal paths and weighing almost 38 lbs it is a very effective solution to avoid the extra
Expense and extra cables and shelf well worth the effort.
I am using this with the Bryston bdp digital player and a 1- T HD.

the eastern electric plus is by no means as good as the Ayon Skylla 2 dac , or cd5s player ,the dynamics and reality as a wholeness is better on every account .
The eastern electric is excellent for it's price range
just for example a corvette may go as fast as
a ferrari, it still is not the same beast, like in a lot of ways but not equalled.I have had both in my home
with several different setups and at No time did anyone say the East Electric plus dac was better then the Ayon Skylla 2 .
