Anything like the Ayre CX-7e but with digital in?

I've seen it, but haven't auditioned it yet. Very impressive to look at. Appears as solid, hi end construction, weights a ton, and a very nice 3 foot platform. An attractive addition to anyones setup. My hold up here is I feel it offers more options than I really neeed (gain & amplification), so I feel like I'd be paying for more than what I really need. Same seems to apply to the new Cary unit. Any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. An Ayre CX 7e with a digital in would be perfect.

I've heard earlier Cary CD players and found them to create a powerful, visceral sound, with good detail but maybe not quite the best in terms of upper end air and space. I suspect the 306 Pro would be a bit further along the road to perfection. :-) I'd like to be able to listen to it, but since at that price I could only go for one used (more likely a 306 SACD non-Pro used) I wouldn't feel right about finding a dealer to listen to one.

Al, funny I was reading the review of the CD3.3 in the recent AS. It does sound like something to consider. Wonder if it's too soon to ask if anyone has heard it?

The Resolution Audio Opus 21 and Cary 306 are one of the best I have owned and with digital inputs.
With the Duet connected its wonderful.

Nakolawala, I'd love to hear your impressions of both of these units.

There is a new Ayre universal player coming out that will have a USB input.
