Bracket these comments with my general thrill over finally being able to play music from my computer.(I did sell a pretty mint Evo VIII in part to get into this world.)At first the Lavry DA-11 sounded a little "Pro", electronic, mechanical to my ears...

Well, I have to admit that the stupendous sensitivity that Sansui TU-1X have after the Stereo Surgeons tune up to use the TU-1X is kind of complicated. With 0.8mkV this tuner picks the noise that my DACs radiate. I staffed all wholes of the Sansui’s ...

Dear Romy,I have one of these machines. It is located between my digital source machines and a Lavry DA-924 dac. It is a machine designed for use by the mastering industry. I use it at home as part of my sound system. The reas...

The initials post was the body of email that Kostas sent to me and considering it’s format he presumed that I will me post it on my site. So, I did it (with his permission). I ran all those tracks once (some of them just a few seconds) and below is v...

Dear Romy, my understanding is that Lavry will update their customers' original (db Technologies) DA924 to the equivalent specifications as the new ones leaving the factory today and that includes (for a fee) replacing the power supply to u...

I admit that I had some interest to begin with when the Berkeley DAC was announced. I was told a year before Berkeley become available that thus guys are working on something new and I felt that whatever this team produces is worth to pay attention. ...

Well, leaving aside my "grinding axes", namely my habitual love to remind people and myself that there are plenty Morons in audio I do think that Berkeley's parley to Reference DAC is interesting. It is interesting not by the DAC as a unit but rather...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Meanwhile I did the Steinberg Waveleb test myself and the difference between it and the most common players is immense.[/quote]

[quote user="jp"]In my experimentations, the da924 doesnt contribute much noise in my setup. Rather in my setup its the lavry ad122 thats the trouble maker. When all digital is turned off I have a very quiet background. Here are my observations...

Mani, Pacific is freaky and it detects HDCD code only at the resolution that it was encoded. If it was coded at 16 bit then it will not read the HDCD at 20 Bit. There is an option in there that set the HDCD detection death… I did not play a lot ...

[quote user="jtavan"] I'm really pleased to hear that your results were so good. This is what I expected should be possible, but I admit to being surprised that it worked so well just at 44.1/16. Wish I could afford the Lavry ADC - that sounds like a...

For whatever reason people expressed a lot of interest to Pacific vs. Lavry A/D and I recently got an relatively a large number of emails, including from the people I do not even know, asking me to compare identical analog tracjs and post the foundin...

Romy Hi sorry to have wandered off topic, I am listening at the moment to an MSB Platinum Dac III, hoiping to get the lavry back for comparison, I believe the MSB is multi bit based on a ladder resistor , with 4 24 bit DAc modules,tremendous re...

Pacific Microsonics are filter kings, but if the Lavry is the best hardware, wouldn´t it be nice to let it play the CDs, too? Ever tried a dCS converter?...

[quote user="coops"]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, r...

Yet you change two resistors in the Lavry and we have four pages of gushing prose! I think you enjoy the sound of your own voice too much!...

[quote user="miab"]Romy, You have mentioned somewhere in the Bidat-Lavry thread about the Bidat being a 20 bit dac but throws out 4 bits (quote below). But, you have also stated that you play 20/44.1 files from your pc set-up into the Bidat and ...

Spoke with John last night. It seems that the comments of the folks who did the modifications recently are not relevant and the new 2010 modification were not yet implemented on any DACs out there. The new modifications are mostly in PS and analo...

For what it is worth, I have found the Lavry DA-11 to be very susceptible to the noise level of the USB input and so may not be the best DAC to try with a computer, where the noise is a function of too many variables. Of course, if other material is ...

OK, after much consideration, recording and listening I made a number a final concussion about the flavors of Pacific Microsonics and Lavry Gold and now I have selected which AD/DA will be serving my FM recording. I offer for you an opportunity to se...
