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.

Yes. I bought one from Audio Connection in Verona, NJ and love it. A QB-9 might beat it, or it might not. There were things I liked about one over the other and vice versa. A W4S DAC2 DSDse can't hold a candle to it on high resolution files. The Codex is amazing.
I have a Rega DAC and looking to upgrade in the near future.  I was considering Ayre QB-9 DSD, then I heard about Codex.  Should I save the money and just go with Codex?  If the sound quality is about the same, then I will go with Codex.  Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I have both Ayre units - QB9 DSD & Codex.
 
I find myself preferring the Codex.
