Sound Comparison of an Ayre CX7e vs. BAT D5


Has anyone compared the sound of an Ayre CX7e vs. BAT D5 (reg or SE)? I am looking on the used market for a new CD player

I have a BAT 3iX preamp, BAT VK55amp, Vandersteen 2ci speakers. I like a warm natural open sound. I am not looking for anything to be exaggerated or clinical for example. I listen mainly to classical and vocals.

Thanks

I own a CX-7e that was just upgraded to the MP, but have never heard the BAT. I am posting only to recommend that you shoot for a CX-7e with the MP upgrade if you decide to go that direction. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying and owning one.
