Ayre CODEX Digital Preamplifier /DAC / Headphone Amplifier

AYRE DIGITAL

Equally at home as a stand-alone DAC, headphone amp, or digital preamp, these products can unlock the potential of any system. A fully-balanced signal path throughout the analog circuitry provides an inherently clean and quiet backdrop for your music. The zero-feedback design maintains all of the pace and rhythm of your favorite artist, rendering your digital music as effortlessly as if it were live.

To get the best possible sound from the USB input of your Codex please refer to our computer audio setup page.

I don't know if it's due to the "zero negative feedback" design or the killer digital filters Charlie Hansen dreams up, but with file resolutions of PCM up to 32/384 and DSD128 the Codex is just plain musical. Can't wait to get one up here for a long hard listen.
