Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion

Thanks again :-)

Unfortunately as an old owner of Ayon CD5 I was absolutely not aware of this as I found nothing concerning this issue when I bought the unit..So I bought power amps without checking the impedance value. Anyway I know now how to handle this.
I've found an incredible volume control / preamp, totally transparent which at the same time solve the impedance matching problem, for a ridiculous price (350 euros), it's a SPL Volume 2 :

So in case of noise or too low impedance I just need to put it between the Ayon and the power amps (full XLR)and everything becomes silent, no need anymore to disconnect the ground of the monos power chord.

I Have exchanged the original tube for 6H30-DR, but as suggested I'll put the original ones to check if there's a problem or not (not so hard to find 6H30-DR but real matched pair is an other world).

@ melkior,, I just bought a Ayon 2s,,how long does it take for everything to open up?, the soundstage etc..., I am told these players take along break-in period, 300 to 600 hours! cheers!

Hello :-)

Before the CD5 I had the CD1 (great unit also), both took something like 150-200 hours to open really. Maybe they go on improving after this time but I found that most of the improvements are achieved after 200 hours. The CD5 has Mundorf Supreme Silver oil which are said to need around 200 hours to break in.
300 to 600 hours seems quite a lot, typically the break-in time for some exotic caps but not the Mundorf Supreme.
I guess it depends how fast the capacitors charges and discharges and the number of cycles, according to the kind of music you play.

Any tip to learn the IR codes of the Ayon with an universal remote (I have a Philips Pronto TSU 9600) ? No way to make it work, this is the only one my Pronto can't understand :-(

@ Melkior,, Man-o-man this player opened up on the vocals yesterday, very impressive!, I did not know these 6h30 tubes would sound like the 12ax7 tubes on vocals!, maybe its the player!, who knows, right?, the 6h30 tubes are suppose to not sound like that on vocals?,, LOL!, whatever,right?,, Hey, I believe I will take the plunge with the 1980 6h30p-DR tubes, them damn tubes are crazy exspensive,,, $275.00 U.S.D.!,, A piece, wow!,, I do not know what you have for an I/c? but dude!, this Taralabs zero gold I/C is kicking a-- and taking names latter, very finnese!,, the tube up-grade may take 2 months, I just dropped $9,515.00 in the system!, need to recover from that,LOL!,, I have no answers for the remote deal, sorry on that, thankyou for the above info,that helped knowing!, I enjoy talking to you here, keep it coming my friend! Happy Listening!
