It's a great community for Ayre fans over here. Everyone seems helpful and loves their music. Sky, eventually you'll be a QX5 user
....lol...j/k. You have a great sounding DAC, even by todays standards. the QX is the only other under 9k DAC that is much better. I do like the Codex better though. I know some may say not quite, but I've heard both so many times and in my system the Codex won out for a variety of reasons. Both to me, are best buys in audio.
