Ayon 07s CD player with built-in volume control for direct to amp operation. In like new condition, and just back from Ayon's authorized repair center where everything was thoroughly checked out. I'm the original owner, and the player has resided in a smoke free dedicated listening room from day one. Only reason I'm reluctantly selling the unit is, I purchased the much more expensive PS Audio DSD dac, and the DMP transport, which despite the cost difference, does not embarrass this tubed Ayon player.

I have the remote, the owners manual, and the original box.

I have 100% positive feedback on Audiogon, under the username gme109.

Asking $2,200

Oh nice, top loading always better than drawer to less vibrations and less moving parts.

Three questions, please.

I have to have a turntable on the top shelf, can you show a pic of the top opened and tell me the height necessary to put this on a well-ventilated shelf?

Was the unit sent in for repair? I have read that the transports sometimes go bad, I have my Rega Saturn in for repair right now for that reason.

What is the "s" designation for? I think the original was the 07 and not 07s.
