CX-7e CD Player

No other CD player delivers music like the Ayre CX-7. Its sophisticated multi-stage digital filter allows the subtle sonic details in your favorite discs to shine through. An exclusive fully-balanced, zero-feedback analog circuit combines breathtaking transparency with beguiling musicality.
The fundamental tones that provide music's foundation are meticulously rendered by the CX-7's twin massive power transformers -- one handles just the digital circuitry; the other the analog. The Ayre CX-7 is the source for your music.

Ayre Acoustics CX-7e CD Player Review Summary by Kirk Midtskog

Sound : "The sound of the Ayre CX-7e is lively, open, detailed, and engaging -- not shy or laid-back. Music took on a kind of momentum that drew me in and invited me to listen." "All the CD rigs I have tried had good bass, but the CX-7e was the first one that really lent some appreciable heft and physical weight to things." "On the other hand, the CX-7e may not be for those who favor a more laid-back sound. It asks the listener to keep up with its momentum-generating performance."
 
Features:  "The technology behind the 'Evolution' designation was derived primarily from power-supply enhancements, which Ayre calls 'Dynamic Power.' These were gleaned from Ayre’s well-regarded C-5xe stereo universal player and consist of proprietary technologies used on the AC side of the power supply, including additional RFI filtering of the AC mains, increased peak current delivery, and filtering of rectifier switching noise." "The CX-7e's transport remains a DVS DVD-ROM drive, and the DAC chips are Burr-Brown PCM1738s. Ayre replaced the CX-7's digital filter with a new Xilinx FPGA."
 
Use:  "Also around back is the CX-7e's Digital Filter Algorithm switch, which gives the option of flipping between Listen and Test modes…. I tried in both and greatly preferred Listen. I did all of my serious listening this way." "I could read the display window’s large blue characters easily from my listening chair and beyond, a feat not possible with many CD players on the market."
