Some people I read about on Russian audio site made experiment running DA10 and Berkeley DAC in different systems and found Berkeley DAC more interesting. I am not sure what it means – I invest very little credibility to most of the people out there ...

It is reported that Lavry Gold DA924 is no longer available and Dan Lavry reportedly is working on new generation of Gold DAC. In so, there are 4 very interesting question: 1) Will Lavry make his new DAC to run at 4X? This is VERY tricky. For year...

Dear Romy,I performed the following tests:Test 1.Digital CD source OFF;Digital Domain DD-2 processor OFF;Lavry DA-924 OFF;Sansui TU-X1 ON and set to FM output;Custom tube amplifier ON volume HIGH;ESL-57 speaker arrays ON;Result: no interference and n...

Hola Antonio & Hi Mats:
Now that you have had some time with the Lavry DA-11, would you mind sharing any additional observations with the club? Are there any superior characteristics or blatant issues worth noting?
Thanks,
S ...

Before announcing Lavry complete failure against Bidat when Lavry was driven by a CD transport I have to make a very important comment: in my case the transport was not a regular transport but the CEC-TL0, a know son of a digital bitch.

Keith,
it is not the thread about Lavry Gold DAC I would rather to hear from people who have experience with other Multibits, perhaps with many Multibits, and who would be able to generalize their observation about Multibits vs. anything else. I kn...

Rom;s borrowed a Lavry 924 today, what a great piece of kit, it has restored my belief in digital it doesn't lack lustre! Keith ( I don't sell them in case you were wondering)!...

Peter, I got a feedback from Dan. You were right it looks like Dan do smudges to reboot the DAC occasionally despite that it does in run-time recalibration: "I would recommend turning the power off for a minute or more, at least every few month. That...

Did I tell you that Pacific Microsonics DAC is a phenomenal 16-bit DAC? I did not lie and it is very good. Look however what the updated Lavry 924++ did with it.
They are very short and small (6Meg) files, mono, 88/24 with a few seconds of opening o...

After dealing with my tuner pick digital noise from my AD and DA, and particularly from Lavry DAC, I loaded Lavry with quite substantial amount of ferrite anti-RF filters:

It includes the a...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Very briefly answering you question, this it is not in the frame of the thread.
Lavry’s SPIDIF interface is not good. Since the only digital cable that I accept was Synopsis, I was trying to use it with Lavry. For whateve...

Thanks, Peter
This is an interesting and in a way controversial subject, let us to view it in details.

Romy if you have the oppurtunity , try to hear the new dac by Mike Stahl, the Stahl-Tek 'Vekian' in my system it has greater resolution, weight and presence than the Lavry and MSB platinum which were my favourite dacs until now, regards Keith....

From the link belowhttp://www.lavryengineering.com/lavry_forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3919it looks like the new Lavry DAC is a completely new design. For sure they do not want to talk about it and it might be not a good sigh. The Lavry DA924 was som...

Hm, I did not know that Dan Lavry has his son Marc working with him. For sure it has to be gratifying for Dan that son could take over eventually and Marc does have a large shoe to fill. Still, we as consumers faced ultimate question: would Lavry ...

Since the new revised Rohde & Schwarz EU-6201 become a leading recoding tuner and since I bound with Lavry A/D, the Lavry prosessor makes a good come back. The competition between Lavry AD122 and Pacific Microsonics never was finalized and I...

Recently I found a way to make Lavry DA-924 to sound reasonable driven by my 16-bit CD transport. That made 3 DACs available to AD my 16-bit digital steam: Pacific, Lavry and Bidat. If Bidat and Pacific sound virtually identical then Lavry has very d...
