“Ayre’s CX-7 sounds as clean as it looks. Its balance is vibrant, its bass
well-defined and deep, its highs clean, detailed, and well-resolved.”

well-balanced components I’ve auditioned in a long time.”

No other CD player delivers music like the Ayre CX-7. Its sophisticated

multi-stage digital filter allows the subtle sonic details in your favorite

discs to shine through. An exclusive fully-balanced, zero-feedback analog

circuit combines breathtaking transparency with beguiling musicality.

The fundamental tones that provide music’s foundation are meticulously

rendered by the CX-7’s twin massive power transformers—one handles

just the digital circuitry; the other the analog. The Ayre CX-7 is the

source for your music.
