Did anyone read the Stereophile review?

Do you mean the EX-8 review? I couldn't understand why Atkinson compared it to separates retailing for almost $40K. I mean, who is deciding between such extreme choices? There is close to zero reason for such a comparison. I thought the twitteringmachines review did a much better job of comparing it to similar price point all-in-one machines albeit the Ayre was the most expensive among them, in that case.

Did anyone read the Stereophile review?  Seemed to be damning with faint praise.  Sonically, it seems to be a different beast from the 7 series.

Interesting.  Is it possible that people are getting tired of the streamers, NAS, complicated remotes, etc?  IMO, it's nice to just pop in a disc and listen, isn't it?  I'm sure this will have all the other capabilities too, but I am pleasantly surprised that Ayre is including a transport.  

I spoke to Ayre today.( 2-14-19) Soon to be released. Connectivity is due to be enhanced and what you'd expect from a newer player vs their older versions. Different modules and price points. Attached is the only image I can locate at this time.

They also indicated to me that they still have the ability to service the Cx-7eMP for several more years. If you have a 5 series player, they recommend contacting them for information regarding the transport mechanism.
