Other Notes: 

"What a pleasant surprise! The AYON CD-5s evidences none of the usual digital issues. There’s not even a hint of grit or harshness or missing texture. Oh, yes, tubey colorations are present—the sweet top end, the rounded edges, the added body, the beautiful tone—after all, this is a CD player with eight tubes from a company known for their SET amps. But the AYON CD-5s manages to keep them in check. They are present to a much smaller degree than classic “tubey” sounding components. In fact, if you were to hear it, I bet you wouldn’t single it out as particularly tubey sounding. It is a fine example of the latest generation of tube gear that melds these traits from the S-E world to modern virtues like extended frequency response, tight bass and surprisingly high resolution." - Marshall Nack, Positive Feedback
