AYRE DX5 - AUDIOPHILE CLUB - HiFi - Hi End - Home Cinema - Multiroom

The Ayre DX-5 is a unique universal audio/video engine that serves as the central source component for all of your digital media. It plays all currently available video optical disc formats (including Blu-Ray and DVD-Video), providing reference-level picture quality for your home theater. The DX-5 also plays all currently available audio optical disc formats (including CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio) with unsurpassed audio quality.

To provide the highest level of performance, the video and audio sections are totally separate. A bank of opto-isolators provides electrical isolation between the two sections of the player.
In addition, the DX-5 also connects to your personal computer (using either Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux) via the ubiquitous USB port to create a true high-performance music server. As digital downloads continue to grow in popularity, this feature will become more valuable as time goes on.

The DX-5 generates a fixed-frequency master audio clock and requests the data from the computer at the correct time for jitter-free playback of your music. The DX-5 also utilizes opto-isolators to provide total electrical isolation for the connections between your computer and music system. This minimizes the introduction of unwanted radio-frequency interference (RFI), generated by all computers.The Ayre DX-5 A/V Engine serves as the central source component for most systems. It plays back virtually all digital formats, both video and audio, and it also provides a connection to provide the full advantages of computer-based audio playback. Thanks to its advanced technological features the DX-5 will extract the full measure of performance from all digital video and audio formats, maximizing your enjoyment both now and into the future.
