I purchased a used Ayon -CD2 about a month ago. Paired it up with a Bryston 100sst intergrated, Reference 3a Veena using Actinote MB interconnects. Did not like the sound at all! Bright, unengaging, midrange congestion. Very depressing. Seriously thought about selling the Ayon and going back to my Bel Canto CD 2/DAC3 which sound great. Then I purchased a pair of Acoustic Zen Ref. II interconnects. Whole new world! Whole new CDP!
Great lesson in cable matching.
