The Ayre Acoustics C-5xeMP plays it all

Now that it’s official that the CD is making a bit of a comeback, TMR has an incredible selection of slightly used players from OPPO (!!) under a thousand bucks, all the way to some more serious hardware like an EMM Labs player around $12k.

If you still have a collection of SACDs and DVD-a discs, this player is the droid you need. Not only does it sound fantastic, it plays all shiny disc formats. There are still some decent titles out there on DVD-a to be found and usually at a reasonable price, with so few players left in the field. This one of my personal favorites – and you can pick it up for a fraction of it’s original price. TMR has gone over it (as they do everything) to be sure all is right functionally.

This one has a few little scrapes, hence the great price. With balanced XLR and RCA outputs, you can put it in any system, and there is a digital output as well – it’s a very versatile performer. A recent call to Ayre confirms that they can still service this one down the road. Good to know on a digital player.
