The new reference Lavry that eventually does 4X is a very cool idea. The volume control is a bit damn thing to have in there, particularly for pro unit but it is what it is, thank God it is analog volume control anyhow. The mono switch is also a cool thing. It is not known if the new Lavry will be true R2R multibit of the same topology as DA924 was. I do anticipate that Lavry would not screw up his reference DAC line. However, it has been passed 20 year as he did his DA924 and people’s approaches might change. Dan might feel that putting a few contemporary chips and using good op-amps would produce the same result, or at least the result that would be appreciated the same by most of his consumers. We have seen it again and again from many other makers who developed a lot of justifiable cynicism in their expectation of consumer appreciation. Would Larvy be the next in the long line? It is hard to say. I am sure with time the technical paper about the new DAC will be available and one way of another the rumors about the DAC sound will hit public.
