For sure the Ayon CD-2, no contest. I traded in my MCD500 for the Ayon CD2 and what an incredible differance. It is like I have a whole new system. With the MCD500, I thought I needed new speakers!

McIntosh MCD500 vs Ayon CD-2
Getting ready to pull the trigger on an upgrade soon and would appreciate some feedback. Has anyone compared these CD players?
