Thanks for the responses so far. I should add that I am running my MacBook Pro via a Curious USB cable to an Uptone IsoRegen reclocker using the Uptone LPS-1 power supply and then into the Codex. I found it to give the Codex a smoother, cleaner, clearer sound especially evident on female vocals.
Ayre Codex (former) Owners, what did you move on to?
The Ayre Codex DAC was and still is a very good DAC and owners of Ayre equipment tend to be loyal to the brand. If you have owned the Codex, what DAC or streamer/DAC did you move on to that was was an upward move? If you still own the Codex but compared it to other popular DACs but found them to be at best a sideways move, I'd like to hear from you too. I have owned my Codex for about 5 years and have not had the burning desire to change. The Codex has been around for a while and I am just curious what others have moved up to even if it's another Ayre digital product.
