Ayre C-5xe vs. Ayre D-1xe

Hi. Can anybody comment on the sonic differences of these two players ? I´ve just scaled down my system from GNSC modded Wadia 581 going directly into a modded Ayre V-1xe and I´m now in the market for either C-5xe or D-1xe to be used with an Ayon Spark tube integrated and all Shunyata Research cabelling.

Furthermore I´ve learned that Ayre is cutting off their european distribution net work - is the company going to close ?

Thanks for any usefull input.

Rgds.
