CD-07...... CD Player

as reviewed by Gary Lea….. (Edited by seller)

The Ayon CD-07 is rather similar to the CD 2- I reviewed a year ago for another publication. That is the stuff that audio dreams are made of. In living with the CD 2… I will say that in summary it is a very finely built and extremely well performing unit that performs almost as well as many $20,000 uber decks. It provided easy operation, refinement of sound and a build quality that I have not see surpassed at ANY price level! The CD 2 was a real pleasure to live with and so has the CD-07 been with the added benefit of an iPod dock integrated into the CD player and controlled by the universal Ayon remote.

According to Ayon the CD-07 is a dramatic rethinking of conventional based tube CD-Player industrial designs and represents an absolutely new standard in its price category. It was created to embody in a more affordable CD-Player, all the know-how and expertise acquired developing reference products.

This CD-Player now incorporates many advanced technologies, aspects and superior aesthetic from Ayon’s upper end CD-Player line (I am not sure there is an upper and lower end just differing price points for differing features). The CD-07 provides exquisite musicality with transparency, dynamic, air, harmonics and resolution.

The CD-07 is 19 x 13 x 4.5 inches and weighs in at 30lbs. This is a full featured top loading CD-Player with a real class A triode vacuum tube output stage employing two 5687 triode tubes.

It is driven by a Burr Brown D/A converter at an up-sampling rate of 192kHz/24 bit.

Great pains have been taken to be sure that the shortest possible signal path is used in this unit as well as all other Ayon products. The unit employs a Phillips transport system. This unit is manufactured by the Austrian company Stream Unlimited. This is the same unit used in the CD2.

A few other noteworthy features are:

� Separate voltage regulators

� Warm up function – extends tube life time

� Modified suspension system to isolate the CD-transport from mechanical vibrations

� MOS-FET’s for tube anode-voltage regulation

� Separate analog output stage for left and right channel

� Noiseless R-core power transformer

� Anti-vibration magnetic integral CD-clamp system combined with dark acrylic CD cover

� 2 Analog output ( RCA & XLR )

� AC Phase control indicator

� Digital input USB

� Digital output S/PDIF

IPOD docking station

� Display dimmer & mute function

� Heavy duty RCA gold-plated output jacks

� Absorber aluminum feet with superior damping characteristics

� Metal remote commander

“As is always the case with Ayon products the fit and finish are world class: thick machined aluminum cases; engraved wording and topped off with the immediately recognizable Ayon name emblazoned in red light on the front panel”.

“As a top loader you need to place the unit on the top of your rack or on a shelf with enough room to not only operate and load the player but to also let it breathe as it is tube driven. It is easy to set up and easy to operate and the entire time I had it I never noticed the slightest bit of overheating or difficulty in operation. The weighted top clamp has a magnetic system that aids alignment when the lid is placed on top of the CD and firmly grasps the disc for better playback. I never had this feature fail to properly line up and seat the CD for a hassle free load”.

”the CD-07 does not overpower the sound with extreme tube warmth. It seems to be rather neutral and allows you to create the sound you want with your choice of electronics and that is a real winning attribute”.

“With the best CD players one of the dogs will come from behind the listener and to the right by about 20 feet. The CD-07 presented this as well as any player I have used including my reference Grant CD-1000”!

“As an iPod deck the CD-07 was great. I had a chance to listen to it in direct comparison to the Wadia I Deck with a Blue Circle DAC. The performance was right on par with that combo”.

“Overall the CD-07 represents a great value and a remarkable feat at the price. You get a top flight CD transport and player with the added bonus of the iPod capability”.

“It is a world class CD player and a steal for the money”

“For someone in the market for a new CD player with a sweet sound, ease of use and super flexibility, the CD-07 is NOT to be missed!” Gary Lea
