In Reply to: RE: Any Comments on Ayre Codex DAC using its Optical Inputs? posted by howgeif on November 07, 2016 at 12:33:31
Most 'audiophile' DACs will not support multichannel audio so be sure the output of your LG TV can be set to 2-ch (stereo) PCM.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I changed the LP OLED 4K TV to output PCM and it works perfectly. Do you have any comments on the Ayre Codex DAC for this application? Thanks.
I do not own the Ayre Codex but it's one that I wouldn't mind trying someday. IMHO, the Ayre is overkill for use primarily for TV duty. Not that it would be bad on the TV but I'd put it in my main audio system and use a lesser ($) DAC on the TV.

Thanks. I am using the Bricasti M1 SE DAC in my main system and it sounds terrific. I like the Ayre Codex DAC for its technology features of zero-feedback, improved power supplies, fully-complementary analog circuitry and fully-balanced analog circuitry. Every review I have read has praised the Codex DAC for its sound quality. I am concerned that a lower cost DAC will not give me the sound quality I am looking for. In addition, I like the synergy between the Codex and my Ayre AX-7e amplifier. Unfortunately, I have been very busy and am unable to visit my local retailer for a listen. I still do not understand how this small 3 pound DAC can be so good. Any comments on the Ayre Codex DAC are appreciated. Thanks.
I had the Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC (excellent BTW) on my AX-7e and I've read that the Codex comes very close to it's performance. So if you have the money to use a Codex on a TV I can't see why it wouldn't sound great.
