like my Ayre C5Xe-mp, do not use a low pass filter at the output so as to eliminate a noise that is inherent to CD or SACD, which is at around 250kHz. Perhaps yours is another one of such players. With my Ayre, I could not use it at all with the Beveridge amplifiers, as they would inevitably be driven into oscillation by that high frequency. I had to use a Sony CDP instead with the Bev system. I'd like to know what Ralph thinks. I later discovered that one of the Bev amps, the one that would oscillate with the Ayre, had a cold solder joint on one of its coupling capacitors. When I found and repaired that problem, it became completely stable, but I've never tried it again with the Ayre.
