Ayre Acoustics DX-5 Multiformat Disc Player A/V Engine

Multiregion and multiformat

The Ayre Acoustics DX-5 is a dream machine for audiophiles and videophiles alike. It is being billed as a player of all disc types: Blu-ray, DVD-A/V, SACD, CD, etc. So if it comes on a shiny disc, the DX-5 will play it. In fact, Ayre's Steve Silberman calls the DX-5 a "Colorado army knife," hinting at its extreme functionality. 

But playing discs is not all the DX-5 will do.

At the rear you’ll find a USB digital-audio input that uses Wavelength Audio's Streamlength asynchronous USB transfer mode technology that allows optimal audio performance with a computer-based music server. The DX-5's internal DAC technology is derived from Ayre’s QB-9 standalone digital-to-analogue converter. Obviously, this is a high-quality audio device. The DX-5 has both single-ended and balanced analogue outputs.

The DX-5 isn't designed simply to be a feature-rich, convenient disc player; rather, it's to provide statement-level performance for audio and video playback.
