Sorry to wake up thread so old, but I have a qustion to @melbguy1 :
In another thread I read that you retubed AYON CD-5. I wonder what tubed have you used and what was the result - Ayon mentioned in their literature that they hand picked 6H30 tubes (but dunno whcih ones).
I absolutely LOVE sound of my AYON CD-5, but if there is a way to improve upon it via tweaking I am all for it ))).
As of discussion - I never owned Reimyo, but I used before OPPO 105, who many people on this form swear by. The difference was so obvious and tremendous that my wife immediately recognized when I switch it.. from another room! Talking about night and day - that was really night and day.
Dunno if there better transports - but mine is very quiet and reliable (however I use 80% of the time AYON as DAC).
