A week passed since I updated my Lavry-924, what a sound! If before the DA924 was just the most advanced and the most interestingly designed multibit with excellent sound then now it is becoming the most advanced and the most interestingly sounding DAC. It is not there yet, but some if the thing it does now are juts out of this world. My Larvy would be VERY surprised to hear it now…

In response to the email questions I got. The diodes are all Schottky now – that is no brainer. Also, I replaced all caps with power supply to Nichicon Muze KZ. The KZ is the top of the Muse line. They are low temperature (85C), low capacitance (up to 1000uF) and much larger then they might be. However they are my favorite electrolytic low voltage caps and decided to parallel them, sacrificing how it might look like, but there is no alternative to the KZ’s sound in my view. I was forces to add a heatsink to the boards with regulators – the unit positioned vertically in my rack with the heatsink atop – very effective cooling. I also put another power ensue module. Lavry used the filtered one PSOSXDS30, I use the identical but with the power filter. The common mode problems and HF nose should be killed in power lines not at the DAC’s entry. We always pay with dynamics and bass in each to those paralleled caps in the primary AC side.
