Ayon Audio CD 3sx Review – Audiophile Magazine
Ayon Audio CD-3sx
Conclusion
The CD-3sx turntable seems to me to be a successful product, as much for the CD part as for the DAC and its accessibility.
Its rich connectivity allows a smooth transition to digital music, and can enjoy 24-bit albums in PCM and DSD, whose Mix / Masterings are often much more refined and successful than the 16-bit CD versions.
And price positioning term (6450 €), if we look at the range Ayon by “number”, the CD-3sx succeeds the CD-3s (5850 €), which has itself succeeded the CD-2s ( 5000 €) and there is a fairly steep rise in prices over 3 years.
If one is interested in restitution, this CD-3sx is positioned (to be confirmed by a direct comparison, but I am sure), above the former CD-5s (8000 €).
We are naturally in very high sums, but if the price in terms of “numbered range” has seriously increased, the value for money seems to me to have greatly increased … in a good way for audiophiles and music lovers.
