Ayre Codex or Bryston

Hey all,

My system has gone through many changes lately, mostly in the effort to simplify the setup.
This is a nearfield setup on a desk.

I replaced my PMC speakers and W4S amp with Genelec monitors (not as good, but they do the job), and also listen with HD700's.

My source is PC -> Bryston BDA-2 -> Bryston BHA-1.

The BDA-2 to BHA-1 is XLR, as well as outputs to the monitors.

I was thinking of selling the 2 Bryston boxes and replacing with the compact Ayre Codex, which has all the features I need: DAC, Pre-amp, Headphone amp. Another option is the Mytek Brooklyn.

Thoughts ?

+1 Ayre Codex DAC:  The sound quality of my Codex DAC is excellent and I suggest you give it listen. I currently use my Codex DAC as a DAC and its sound quality is excellent.  I also experimented using the Codex DAC as a pre-amp with great results.

I suggest you audition the Ayre Codex DAC.
