    How to use my iPad to view the Ayre DX-10 DSD menu

    Sounds good. Would love to hear how it worked out (or didn't) when you get a chance to do so, thanks! And otherwise, whatever works out for you on that front- my schedule is hopelessly overwhelmed nowadays and my residual 'bandwidth' is narrow, so if I start looking into the matter I'll likely...

    How to use my iPad to view the Ayre DX-10 DSD menu

    Hi Echolane- Am wondering if you ever got clarity on what connection would work for your ipad? As mentioned, I've wanted to address the screen connectivity for my DX-5 as well.

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Good luck with the power cords and conditioner! I'm a firm believer in their benefits, depending upon one's power supply/equipment. I've had good results with power cords- primarily in the lower/modest price range from Shunyata, e.g., Diamondbackss, a Viper, Black Mambas, usually on discount...

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Hi, hope you like them! I've never ordered more than 2 SACDS/sets at a time from cdjapan, so less one-time sticker shock, but yes, there's the cost of the discs, plus since the pandemic, Japan or at least cdjapan, has really limited shipping methods (it's crazy, some Japanese peculiarity), so...

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Oh, one more thing- the really expensive Japanese titles are predominantly legacy titles (and there are many great ones!), bu even nowadays, t the new (predominantly classical) titles on SACD are rarely more than $20-25 for a single disc in my experience- though obviously double or multiple SACD...

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Addressing your questions about hi-res media purchases - first, if you don't happen to be familiar with HRAudio.net, they're an indispensible resource for hi-res disc buying- I've been using them and their predecessor, SA-CD.net, for the past dozen years or more. On the cost side of things...

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Hi, my response to you here is in two parts (this is the first), as it ran quite long! A few things here- re. the Luxman- I'd seen some rave reviews of it, knew it was their latest flagship model, know that Luxman's been around for 97 years or so and is a major company that keeps a good stock...

    I’m struggling to decide about buying an Ayre DX-5 DSD SACD & etc Player

    Hi Echolane, saw this thread, wanted to throw in my two cents. I think the DX-5 DSD is an excellent choice. While I also have a Luxman -10X which is somewhat better, the DX-5 DSD is so good at the price for which it sells used that you should be very happy for it. TBH, I'd be perfectly happy...
