Analog Outputs
It is not normally

single-ended connections are made via RCA
connectors.
When you have a choice, a balanced connection

single-ended connection.
Digital Filter
The digital filter of the Ayre CX-7e MP features two
user-selectable algorithms. A selector switch is

may prefer the additional high-frequency energy
