Awards

2004 Editors' Choice Award -- The Perfect Vision
"The best picture we've seen from the DVI output of a DVD player, period. 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. And true to its audiophile pedigree, it's an excellent-sounding CD transport. If you own a high-resolution display, particularly a fixed pixel device, you owe it to yourself and your system to look at the DX-7."

2004 Golden Eye Award -- The Perfect Vision
"The DX-7 has noticeably sharper, more detailed images that are remarkably purer and more dimensional and organic, and freer from artifacts... The DX-7's picture is more relaxed and natural looking, and considerably more dynamic, with superior resolution of subtle details. And its sound quality as a digital transport in both home-theater and high-end two channel audio applications is beyond reproach."

"The DX-7 is the best DVI-output player I've yet seen, and owners of high-resolution displays who can afford the Ayre owe it to themselves to check it out. Once you've seen what it does, there'll be no going back."

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
