Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter

Has anyone heard Ayre's new CD players or its new DAC with the Minimum Phase filter or has anyone returned his or her C-5xe for upgrade with the new MP filter? If so, what do you think of the sound?

Left a voice mail with him on Mar. 18, a second voice on Mar. 23, never get a response from him. Is that the service level we expect from a company with a top tier customer service? Can't imagine how long does it take to do the MP upgrade.

The owner of the C5XE need to go thru your local Ayre dealer to arrange with Ayre for the upgrade. The cost is about US$200 plus shipping. Michael indicated that the earliest upgrade appointment available is early June, 2009.
