Ayre Codex

Did someone have experienced with the Ayre Codex used as a DAC.
I like the QB9 dsd sound, but i used toslink connexion so a Codex could be good for me.

To me, Codex sounded a lot better than it was after about 200 hours of break-in. Also, was the comparison done on exactly the same system setup? Thanks.

The Codex is good, but compare to the QB9-DSD it's clear that the Codex is not in the same league.
