5 reviews for Ayon CD-35

  1. Mark Harrison

    Quality like this is a privilege to experience. The Ayon CD35 is another outstanding unit. The Ayon line is superior and there are no corners cut. I have owned many different brands over the years and Ayon exceeds everything that I have ever heard. The DSD up converting is phenomenal and I have never heard this much detail in music. The Ayon company is at a much higher level in every way. Also again Charlie is the absolute authority on high end gear. So for me it has been a great experience on all levels.
    Thank you,
    Mark

    This Ayon CD35 signature is really something the quality of reproduced sound that comes out of this machine is unbelievable with depth of soundstage 3-D all around you transparency of the highest level seems so live sounding and the bass very strong but transparent clear layering many octaves through out and with each CD played always a individual independence of each CD never sounding the same but sounding there best so there is so much to look forward to all kinds of music with such realism compared to other CD players this is the ONE.

  3. Marty

    First of all, let me say that USA Tube Audio is a pleasure to deal with. Paul (the sales person I know) is highly knowledgeable, helpful and responsive, and Shelly (the one who typically handles the sale’s logistics) is a delight, as well. My new CD-35 signature has about 40 hours on it now, so it’s just starting break in. But its sound already, to quote Paul’s words, is truly an epiphany. I remember when I bought my Ayon CD-07s to use with a Rogue Audio RP-5 pre amp. Paul said at the time that I’d ask myself why I didn’t get the CD-07s sooner. He was right. And now, with the CD-35s which I’m also using as my pre amp, my system has graduated to a whole new level, a truly natural sound that makes me forget that I’m listening to my system and that the musicians aren’t really in the room with me – a true epiphany!

  4. Joie Gallenberger

    I have worked with USA Tubed Audio (Paul and Shelly) for many years and previously had the Ayon CD5s. I have been enjoying my Ayon CD35s now for about a year and it is indeed a significant upgrade while still keeping the Ayon magic. I use it also as my pre-amp in a revealing system Von Schweikert Audio VR55 Aktive speakers ($60,000) and Jeff Rowland 625S2 Class A/B amp ($16,000) . No other system that I have auditioned in my home or heard in dedicated rooms including many separate Transport/DAC/Pre-amp systems at triple the cost and complexity comes close to providing the excitement and naturalness of live music that the Ayon CD35s provides. I love the savings on power cords and interconnects, and the clean look as well. With friends I have brought in and connected several high- end DACs and preamps, and the built-in DAC and preamp of the Ayon was preferred by myself and many friends.

  5. Douglas Duncan

    I am thoroughly impressed with USA Audio staff and ecstatic about the quality and performance of the CD35!! Since 1960, this is only my third “system” and, at age 78, my last. The past started with JBL speakers, McIntosh amps and Thorens and most recently a full complement of Balanced Audio Technology, both tube and SS. Now I cannot imagine anything better to send sound to my Pass Lab 350.8 (also from USA Tube Audio) driving my Sound Lab M1 speakers. While living in rural locations I cannot attest to in-person comparisons, however I can attest to the overwhelmingly positive response from very experienced friends, some of whom are accomplished musicians and one is a professional recording engineer and manufacturer of very expensive audio amplifiers. In regard to support, I offer the FACT that I have never had such detailed and knowledgeable guidance and hands-on support. This included full set up of Audirvana and Qobuz on my laptop (which I sent to them on their offer). I could not be more pleased with the Ayon CD35, Paul and all of the staff.
