Channel Islands D-200 or Ayre V-5Xe???


Has anyone compared these two units? What are the major sonic differences? Which one was better on your system and why?

I own five CIA D200 (because the first three were so good). Denjo's observations about the D200 are accurate. The only thing I know about the Ayre is that it costs twice as much.
Denjo, I made the same mistake with the Ayre. I plugged it into some power conditioners and the soundstage just went flat. The dynamics were totally gone. Has anyone else heard the units and compared?
