House sound of CARY vrs AYRE?

Can anyone explain the difference in the sound quality of top end machines from Ayre and Cary.

I'm looking for a high quality cd/sacd player, with a lush, detailed, and dynamic wide soundstage. If any of you have comared players from both companies would appreciate your comments.

Will be replacing an Arcam fmjcd23. Running a Roland integrated with Dynaudio c1 signatures.

Thanks

Its really hard to define lush. It may mean different things to different people. As far as Ayre and Cary go, I think they both make some of the best CD players out there. They do sound different from each other but if you like one, you will probably like the other as well. They both sound very different from your Arcam.

I have the Ayre c5xemp and love it. It benefits from the best power cord and balanced interconnects. I have mine on Terrastones which clarifies the sound even further...many times better than LP

"many times bettet than LP" Be careful, some will consider that blasphemy (smile).
