I just went from a ARC CD3 mk II to the Ayre C-5 XE mp. The most immediate difference is greater detail retrieval with Ayre and more weight with the lower frequencies. The ARC had slightly better dynamics and was more engaging when played at high levels. I would stay with Ayre CDP although the ARC is a great player.
Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2
Can anyone compare and contrast these two players? I currently own the Ayre but am switching to an ARC system.
Please let me know your opinion if you have compared them. I certainly don't feel like I'm missing anything with the Ayre, but I always strive for good system synergy. Should I stay put or go for the ARC?
The Ayre is less than a year old and under warranty so I need to know details before making a foolish move.
Thanks
