Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion

On a whim, I dug out the Wavelink HS box and hooked my MBA to the USB port and gave the Ayon's PCM1704UK DAC a whirl.

Still sounds pretty good even if I had to use a cheap-ish NuForce impulse USB cable (only one I had that was long enough.

Hi DH, thanks for the f/b on the CD-5s' dac. It is a really good dac imho (essentially a Skylla 2 with an extra psu and transport).

Im sorry, the 7s ayon uses pcm 1796 dacs, I thought the 5s did, 5s pcm1704.

No, the 2s will not be on death row,I seen on Ayons web site, the 5s uses the BB pcm 1796, as my vincent player did, the old ayon 5 used bb1704 dac as does the 2s.

They didn't change the PCM1704 building block of the CD5S from the CD5.

where did you get that information?

Here's a pic of the PCM1704

The 1796 is used in the CD07 IIRC
