No other CD player delivers music like the Ayre CX-8. We’ve combined over twenty years of experience making disc spinners with our very latest digital and analog technologies to create this fantastic CD player. Its sophisticated single-pass 16x Minimum Phase digital filter allows the subtle sonic details in your favorite discs to shine through. Our fully-balanced, zero-feedback analog circuit delivers breathtaking transparency and renders your music against a rich deep background. If you’re like us, you have hundreds, if not thousands, of CDs in your collection. Bring those discs back to life and hear them in the best way possible through the CX-8’s Equilock gain stage and Diamond output circuitry. Meticulously rendering the music from your CDs with a lifelike quality that will have you listening for hours, the Ayre CX-8 is likely the last disc spinner you’ll ever need.
