About Ayre

“The limitations of recorded media disappear, and the restorative power of music and cinema becomes a part of daily life.”
-- Charles Hansen, Founder and Designer

Discover Ayre and lose yourself in the moment … intimately experiencing music and cinema that is perfectly timed and naturally alive.
Ayre Acoustics, Inc. has been designing and building superior quality, award-winning audio and video equipment since 1993. Ayre is recognized as a world leader in the industry, and its full line of audio and video components sets new standards in innovation, design, and performance. We proudly offer the finest equipment for your listening and viewing pleasure.

Our mission is to create audio and video systems that provide a lifetime of excitement and discovery. Combining stunning realism with exceptional clarity, Ayre components offer a natural, relaxed presentation that draws you into your favorite music and films as never before. Ayre’s bold, unique design approach ensures superlative levels of performance. Every design detail is focused on a single aim--unprecedented musical and cinematic delight. All of our products employ Ayre’s exclusive fully balanced, zero-feedback circuitry, with special emphasis lavished on the power supply. The result is a new world of artistic insight and experience.

Fully balanced circuitry performs best.
Balanced circuitry is a special dual configuration that rejects noise and interference -- not only from external cables, but also from the AC power line itself. In an Ayre component even the signals from conventional sources are converted to the balanced format, resulting in vivid, lifelike performances, presented against an uncannily quiet background.

Zero feedback circuitry delivers completely natural performance.
Conventional designs use negative feedback to compare the output signal to the input signal, which introduces time-domain errors and other artifacts. In contrast, Ayre’s exclusive zero-feedback circuits are designed for intrinsically pure linearity, delivering performance that is coherent and natural.

The musical and cinematic experience begins at the power supply.
All audio and video circuits operate by modulating the power supply—the best performance demands the best power supplies. Ayre’s exclusive multi-stage power filtering, implemented with the strictest attention to detail, is the real-world foundation upon which Ayre builds new levels of audio and video realism.

3-CES 2004 Show Report, The Audiophile Voice

Arnis Balgalvis
A marvelous-sounding room was set up by Ayre Acoustics, Inc. All the electronic equipment was Ayre’s own and was designed by Ayre’s main guy, Charles Hansen himself. This was a clear case where the whole was bigger and better than the sum of its parts.

The sound of the Ayre room was exceptional. And addictive. I did not want to leave this place of sonic bliss – I wanted to just stay there and continue to listen to this stunning presentation. It was Ayre who was responsible for me missing some of the other exhibits. But guess what – I’m not a bit annoyed.

Awards

DX-7e DVD player
2005 Editors Choice Award — Ultimate AV
"The Ayre DX-7 was pristine. . . the DX-7 produced tight, tuneful bass and a fluid midrange replete with detail...The video tests didn't need to tell me what my eyes already knew..."

D-1x DVD/CD player
2004 Editors' Choice Award — The Perfect Vision
"Ayre's D-1x is as stunning a 480p player as you're ever going to feast your eyes upon, and what's more, it's one of the very few DVD players that is a truly reference-quality CD player, holding its own against any dedicated CD player at any price."

V-6x multichannel amplifier
2004 Editors' Choice Award — The Perfect Vision
"Ayre's V-6x is a classic example of a high-end company going to the movies and elevating the standard of performance in home theater."

DX-7 DVD player
2004 Editors' Choice Award — The Perfect Vision
"The Ayre's image is purer, more seamless, more 3-D, more palpable, and flat-out more convincing and involving than anything else out there, save Ayre's own D-1x."

DX-7 DVD player
2004 Golden Eye Award — The Perfect Vision
"The DX-7 is the best DVI-output player I've yet seen... Once you've seen what it does, there'll be no going back."

Mark Levinson 326S Baby version of the Ref 32 Pre-amp at a reasonable cost of £6,995. Like most technologies the benefits of the research for the reference products trickle down into more affordable products like the 326s Pre-amp. You get alot of the quality of its bigger brother, providing a jump in the quality available at this price.	Ayre Acoustics C-5xe Universal Disk Player Stereophile Extract: "It ought to be fairly obvious that I found the Ayre C-5xe more than satisfactory. I didn't expect it to disappoint, but I was unprepared for just how much it delighted me. I've heard a lot of impressive audio components over the years, but I've heard very few that afforded me greater musical pleasure or sent me on as many voyages of musical discovery through discs I thought I knew well." - Wes Phillips, July, 2005
Gryphon Diablo The ultimate reference integrated amplifier at £6100. The Gryphon sonic magic in a reasonable sized and georgeous case, you must hear this as it puts most pre power combo's to shame, pure music at its best.	Brinkmann LaGrange turntableThe Brinkmann LaGrange turntable is without a doubt the best source component I have ever had the chance to enjoy over an extended period of time. It represents a level of perfection and emotional connection to music that I have never heard before. - Danny Kaey extract from Positive Feedback
Teac Esoteric DV-50SThe Esoteric DV-50 is the most fun you can have with digital music playback short of the dCS trio reviewed by Michael Fremer in April 2003 (Vol.26 No.4). Given that the dCS gear costs about six times as much as the DV-50, the Esoteric is a screaming bargain, especially considering its hyper-advanced technology, bulletproof build, and exceptional sound. You can even play movies on it. - Stereophile Extract	ProAc D100 The imposing new Response D100 takes on the mantle of flagship model from our legendary Response Four, which has delighted discerning audiophiles for the last twelve years. The D100's produce stunning music, effortlessly. The enhanced sensitivity extracts the tiniest detail from any recording without brightness or exaggeration. Greater bandwidth creates a huge soundstage, drawing in the listener and creating a concert hall experience, where the loudspeakers seem to melt from the scene..
