I wouldn't run the Aurelic over a Codex. Night and day sound wise. I have heard the Altair a bunch as two of the dealers I frequent run them. One has Ayre and we have done side by sides and not one person has chosen the Altair. Go get a cheap streamer. I know a few are being worked on that will be very inexpensive, but not sure when they will come to market. I'll ask someone I know who owns a digital review site and see what he recommends for the least expensive streamer to go with the Codex.
Newbie looking for amplifier advice
Hello
After much painful research, I decided to purchase a Ryan R610. I heard Sonus Faber, Dynaudio, Magnepan etc but decided that a bookshelf is the best fit for my apartment living room.
Room is 19x12x8 with carpeted floor and huge glass window. I have been advised Belles Aria but wondering if there is a DAC integrated around $2500 which can match this amp.
Specifically, the Parasound Halo catches my attention but am concerned about DAC longevity and have been hinted that Parasound isn't such a value for money as, say, Emotiva.
Anyone run a Ryan/Belles combination?
