The ultimate in high-end reference for SACD, DVD Audio, CD and DVD, the Ayre C-5xeMP Universal Player exceeds all standards of excellence. For design and build, there is simply nothing else to compare. The chassis is constructed of solid machined aluminum stock -- as well as is the remote control! For quality of construction, Ayre is unsurpassed.
The audio performance is as transparent, detailed, and dynamic as all of the glowing reviews say. The late Charles Hanson has left his C-5xeMP creation as the benchmark of digital players. For the money-no-object audiophile, this has been the reference audio source for top end sound systems. (original sales price was $6,000.)
The unit I am selling has been fully updated by Ayre with the newest MP upgrade. It is in perfect working condition and delivers all the great audio performance expected by this outstanding player. Since I already own the later issue Ayre DX-5, there is no reason to keep both universal players.
The C-5xeMP is in flawless cosmetic condition -- not the slightest scratch or mark anywhere on the unit -- it is like new. It comes with the original owners manual and remote -- in perfect condition also. It ships in the original box with the original packing materials. The box weighs 28 pounds and measures 22" x 17" x 10". Shipping to be calculated, or pick-up is welcomed. (note: I can forward more photos on request)
