Since several Stereophile reviewers use Ayre as their reference and Meridian has been declared "BEST" by the audio press (without comparing to the new Ayre), I was wondering if someone could please explain the difference between the filters the companies use. They are both based on the same technical paper as I understand. What are the similarities/ differences? Do the Boulder and DCS, which were recently reviewed, also use this? Thx!
