I listened to the Codex driving a pair of HD800's through what looked like a custom cable at the recent Head-Fi meet. I admit I'm a headphone noob, but I heard things in "So What" (the opening track to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue), I'd never heard before, and I've listened that track at least a hundred times. Never knew the bass was sustaining that long. The pair is now my dream rig. EDIT: Oh, and I was quoted a price of $1795.
Was it the Cardas balanced, two 1/8" stereo plugs? I only got to hear it with a single ended cable, but Alex at Ayre swears the balanced cable makes a fairly remarkable difference. They are supposedly going to start shipping at the end of the month. Right now, there are only about ten units out there in select dealers hands.
