I'm likely generalizing because Ayre Codex sounded to have dimentionality to the sound as well. It was the first DAC I noticed it sounded like I was at the Pawn Shop listrning to Jazz.Very similar to what I have noticed.. the ability to layer the instruments, music in a lifelike manner.. the DS DACs sound paints a clear clean picture that has the ability to stand out, but not at defining a dimensional view. Similar to my iPhone sound, but not to scale. It wasn’t until I spent time with the Yggdrasil, that I noticed the layers and textures because of the dimensionality.. The best I used to hope for in digital was a smooth, non-edgy sound. Now I’m dealing with a source that competes some of the best analog out there.. In 16/44 even !
Anybody know if Ayre Codex is Delta Sigma? Gumby sounded pretty much identical to it. If so, I'm generalizing Delta Sigma too much.
