The Ayre EX-8 is an all-in-one device: an amplifier, a DAC, a network player, and a headphone amplifier. At the same time, the device retains all of Ayre's proprietary proprietary technologies, including a fully balanced analog circuit with zero feedback, a special digital filter that significantly improves the sound quality with any played file, as well as the ability to use asynchronous S/PDIF inputs (the patent is currently under consideration) to eliminate jitter without disturbing the original music data, as it happens in most cases.

    Ayre Accoustics AX-5 Twenty

    The Ayre AX-5 Twenty is a fully discrete, balanced integrated amplifier. A large amount of proprietary know-how was invested by the American company Ayre in the development of this amplifier: a Diamond-type dual output stage, EquiLock proprietary circuitry, a silver Shallco contact switch for gain control, Variable Gain Technology (VGT), the technology used in the award-winning KX-R preamp.
