I have an Ayre C5xemp,..... cd or SACD can sound from good to extraordinary...depends on the quality of the disc. Ayre is the better unit, but ..no...it doesn’t do bluray. Playing cd or sacd, the Ayre sounds better...and a properly set up vinyl sounds even better.
Blu-Ray vs. MFSL CD
I am looking to purchase a version of the classic Supertramp, Crime of the Century. I have been looking at the MFSL version but just ran across the Blu-Ray version which purportedly has no compression. Leaving money out of the discussion for now, does anyone have any comments on the quality comparison between the two formats? I would play the MFSL through an Ayre C5XEMP and the Blu-Ray through an Oppo 103D. I appreciate any feedback.
