Not sure if Ayre was going to do an "R" series DAC. I guess this new product might be a "5" series component. Hopefully they can find a transport that will stay in production. I thought I read that the Philips transport (used by ARC on their CD players) wasn't going to be made anymore. I should research that again.

Hi - I also have the C-5exMP, which is a fine unit and I enjoy using it.
Forward looking I still want a disc based machine that supports all available formats, including SACD and Blu-Ray. Streaming and file-based formats and whatever are current protocols would also be welcome. I have no problem if it is separates as long as interfaces are not proprietary.
It would be a positive if Ayre gave some hint as to whether they are committed to a new disc-based media player.
