Beschrijving
AYON CD-10 CD/SACD-Speler en DSD DAC
De AYON CD-10 is een single ended buizen SACD/CD-speler. Door de nul feedback en het puur buizen ontwerp laat de CD-10 de meervoudige gelaagdheid in de muziek horen met de grootste transparantie, waarbij een diep een gedetailleerd 3D geluidsbeeld mogelijk wordt. De DAC kan zowel zeer hoge resolutie PCM (768 kHz/32 bit) als DSD (256 of 4x) aan. De AYON CD10 biedt in elk opzicht een compromisloze kwaliteitsklasse.
Bij de Signature versie (optie) is de speciaal ontworpen PCM-DSD conversie module een bijzonderheid. De conversie van PCM (reguliere CD’s of streaming WAV/FLAC) naar DSD zorgt voor een spectaculaire verbetering van de geluidskwaliteit. Nog nooit klonk een digitale bron zo analoog, Ayon is erin geslaagd het verschil met de beste vinyl-weergave te overbruggen! Daarnaast is deze versie uitgerust met Mundorf Supreme & Silver/Oil capacitors.

SPECIFICATIONS AYON CD-10 (SA)CD-player / DAC:
Full-featured Tube Top Loader CD/SACD-Player
Class-A triode vacuum-tube output stage for single-ended & balanced operation
Signal Path
We believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. That is why our pre-amplifiers to date have used single-ended pure class-A circuitry. The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths.
- Logical sequenced soft-start power up for extended tube life
- Warm up function
- 0dB negative feedback (of any kind )
- Ultra short signal path
- Simplest direct circuit path for purest musical sound and high reliability
- Low output impedance for driving long runs interconnect to an amplifier, and any tube or solid statepower amp
- No solid state devices in the analog tube output (signal path )
- Minimal discrete wiring for optimum signal propagation
- No followers or buffers in the signal path
- No DC servo that degrades the signal
- High quality parts throughout
- Fully hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship
- Separate analog output stage for left and right channel
- Digital input – S/PDIF (RCA), & TosLink
- USB input – 24/384 kHz and DSD 64x/128x
- Digital output – S/PDIF (RCA)
Power Supply
The power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise filtration. Separate power transformer windings and filters provide total isolation between the input and output stage which makes this a pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a 6H30 output stage. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors.
- R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformer for digital & analog
- Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients
- Separate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification
- AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit.
- Tube rectification for analog output stage
- 10 separate voltage regulators
Components
The type of parts used therefore must have a synergistic relationship to the circuit they are placed in. It is this relationship of which type of part to use where, that ranks our products apart from the mass.
- Selected, premium quality passive components used in all applications
- High speed & high quality audiophile grade coupling capacitors
- High quality special tube sockets with gold pins
- Capacitors ( MKP 2% )
- High quality – RCA & XLR jack
- Gold-plated industrial grade PCB
Mechanical Construction
The high grade aluminum chassis impart a richer, more lustrous tonality with a cleaner back-ground and less hash and grain. All brushed anodized anti-vibration-resonance and non-magnetic chassis’s are fully hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship.
- Backlit function buttons
- Modified suspension system to isolate the SACD/CD-transport from mechanical vibrations
- Anti-vibration magnetic CD-clamp system with dark acrylic CD-LID
- The aluminium feet are resonance absorbing types
- Metal remote commander
- Chassis finish: black / chrome
The Signature version (option) comes with a special PCM-DSD converter for all PCM signals (DAC, USB and Streamer) and Mundorf Supreme & Silver/Oil capacitors.
