How is the audio performance on the Ayre D-1Xe?

I've noodled Esoteric (X-03) and Ayre (CX 5 or 7) for 2-channel audio. I've just begun to notice a number of reasonably priced Ayre D1-Xe DVD players. Does anyone have experience with the audio performance on the D1-X or Xe? Any thoughts on comparision to CX5 or CX 7, or the Esoteric X-03. Thanks
