Yes, Lavry released a successor or his Lavry Gold 924 DAC. The Lavry Gold DA-N5 Quintessence is up to 4X sapling tat and has a number of other bells and whistles. Interesting to have it from Dan Lavry - from the person who was for year advocating moderate sapling rates - I guess the forces of marker are real forces.
I kind of suspicions about this new DAC as Lavry does not say anything about it. His now is 25 years older and shall be 25 years more cynical, so only god know what he made in this DAC. When he made his Gold 924 he trumpeted his define al, over the world and there was a reason for it - it WAS great design. Now with new DAC one would expected to do the same... if the design present the same level of greatness. However, Lavry is silent. Strange and it might be not a good sign.
The Pacific people 25 year after the Microsonic did Alfa DAC that was from my perspective crap compare to the level of talent they are able to invest into a DAC. Did Lavry do the same and juts cashed out his name bringing to market another $10K DAC of he came up with new truly old-Lavry worthy converter? I do not know. I did not listen and I do not see me trying it in near future. I play with Lavry only 2X files (for 1x and 4X I used different DACs)and at this point I do not feel a need to update.
