Which would you pick between the two DAC.

Thank you everyone for your advise.

Dave, I really like air and openness, details, and warmth.

George, my Modi Multibit look and feel just like a toy to me if compare it to other brand like Wadia or Ayre. The front button switch got to much play. It might be because it is only $249. This is one of my main reason that is why I am not sure if I really want other Schiit. I had an eye on Gungnir multibit before purchase Modi too.

I own the Ayre Codex DAC and highly recommend it.  Ayre Acoustics is a great company and all their products are excellent.  I have used my Codex DAC as a preamplifier/DAC and also a standalone DAC.  It is an outstanding performer in both applications.

Someone on Audiogon has an Ayre Codex DAC listed for sale at $1,100.  Please see:

HiFi to me is all about the sound, I couldn't care if it looks likes a ratz a**e.
Some like to listen, some like to look. It's what's on the inside that counts, the circuitry is all that matters, the rest is WAF, or show off material.

Cheers George

Eddy,

I have enough experience with Ayre and Wadia to comment that both will give you a great balance between air and open-ness, detail, and warmth. Can’t go wrong with either from where you are now.

I have never heard Schiit, so cannot say, but some I trust (david_ten for one) are very happy with their Yggdrasils.

Dave
