Ayre Codex


Did someone have experienced with the Ayre Codex used as a DAC.
I like the QB9 dsd sound, but i used toslink connexion so a Codex could be good for me.

A couple months ago I was looking for a new CD player. My price point was $2,000. Walked out of hifi shop with the Codex. Am using my Arcam CD player as a transport.

Anyway, the Codex is great! Soundstage is excellent, the unit doesn't sound digital/analytical. The sound is warm, without too much bottom end and the highs are not harsh or tinny. I am also using it with an Auralic mini with upgraded power unit and everything I am streaming sounds large. 

For the price I think you get great value.
