BUILT FOR HIGH END AUDIO
STATE OF THE ART WITH INTEL
Zero computer/network knowledge needed. Just plug it in! Plug & Play. Setup video is available & if needed our techs can & will remotely setup the RS7 for you for Free. All you have to do is connect the RS7, power it up and we will take it from there, Remotely via computer. Pretty cool right!
Do not use a computer to stream your music, computers run dozens of background programs just to keep the computer up & running. This causes unwanted, noticeable noise in the signal path.
The RS7 has no Noise, no fans, super fast instantaneous delivery, huge horsepower for large libraries, no spinning disks, no moving parts, imbedded operating system, no drivers, all solid state, runs super COOL, built for high end audio Only! Put it anywhere, Plug & Play. Solid State drive included.

Ayon Stealth XS & Ayon CD-TII Transport Package
0% Financing for 3 Years!
This combo, the Ayon Stealth XS vacuum tube DAC pre-amplifier coupled with the Amazing Ayon CD-TII vacuum tube Transport, full native DSD 128 will prove to be the best DAC Transport ever at any price.
Wall to wall three dimensional performance, a fast tight bass, warm fluid mids, superb highs that do not roll off. A Pure Class A vacuum tube – Triode performance, that NO Solid State gear can offer, Period…
Did you know that the recoding studios all use vacuum tube microphones, instrument pick-ups & pre-stages in their studio system to lay-down the final recorded tracks!
Try that with a Solid State system, Baby……. It would never be done by the pro’s.

Ayon Audio has really outdone themselves again! Every time a new model is released, which is about every 4 to 5 years, we think to ourselves – will the new model be even better.
I have to confess we do that here at USA Tube Audio and I can confirm that every time Ayon Audio introduces a new model, we are stunned that Ayon can yet squeeze out a superior performance over their Legacy model being replaced.
Ayon has done it again. The Stealth XS vacuum tube DAC will amaze and stun you. The soundstage is so realistic to the live event, the Stealth XS is so good, that your speakers will disappear during playback. Wall to wall three dimensional performance!
The Stealth XS can do it all – computer playback DSD professional audio use. The Quad differential gain stage, composed of 2x 6N6P dual triodes per channel a total of 4 6N6P’s are so liquid, you will find yourself fully captivated and engaged.
Also 4x 6Z4 tubes for the power supply and signal rectification. Amazing! The Stealth XS DAC HD high capacity power supply setup in a “bridge” rectification design, is genius.
The Stealth XS will prove to be an intricate component, a must have machine in your system.

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.
● Warm up function
● Ultra short signal path
● Simplest direct circuit path for purest musical sound and high reliability
● Minimal discrete wiring for optimum signal propagation
● No DC servo that degrades the signal
● High quality parts throughout
● Fully hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship
● Low jitter digital audio clock system
● High precision clock
● 6H14 tube (digital output – signal buffer)
● A virtually jitter-free – 1 picoseconds – digital clocking system
● Digital output – S/PDIF (RCA), BNC, I2S, AES/EBU (XLR)
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 CD-mechanism and digital signal.
● 2 separate R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformer for digital audio signals & CD-mechanism
● Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients
● AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit.
● 6 separate FET 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 quality grade E-capacitors
● High quality – RCA, BNC & 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 CD-transport from mechanical vibrations
● Anti-vibration magnetic integral CD-clamp system combined with dark acrylic CD-cover
