Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3

Hello.
Why is the upsampling not as high as the 'Super Nova' by Simaudio or some of the other $6000 up players?
Thanks.Sally

Sorry, 6 moons granted the Ayon CD-1 an award (not reward). Typo.

I've had a bit of time to listen to my Ayon CD-1 and I have been delighted. Just to add that I took the CD-1 to a friends last week and compared it to his heavily modded Sony SACD. He has a nice set up with Wilson Watt Puppy 7's and Pass amp/preamp. On his system, I really enjoyed the CD-1 and prefered it to the SOny. Of course, I was not unbiased, but given the return option for the Ayon I was listening quite critically. I found the Ayon more engaging: Highs were crystal clear without being bright, bass tight and deep, very musical throughout the range (blah, blah, blah -- the reviews say it better, but I was happy to be keeping the Ayon). My friend liked the Ayon, but was not won over in the session. He thought the Sony had more weight, but was impressed with the detail of the detail and musicality of the CD-1. He enjoyed the Ayon, but did not feel moved to give up the Sony for the Ayon.

Anyway, I'm a happy customer.

Has anyone in the threads above compared the Ayon to other similar tube-based CDP's in the same general price range? Such as -- Opera Audio Droplet, a used Audio Aero Capitole MKIIse?

Also, based on the dramatic extremely positive effect I have had with having tubes cryogenically treated, I would HIGHLY recommend this as a cost effective 'tweak'for the tubes in the Ayon (or ANY other tube CDP).

Cheers!

I thought Raysonic made the players for Ayon.And have stopped becuase Ayon was not suppose to sell in the US.
