In the Thread: The LavryBlack DA11 Stereo DA Converter

Post Subject: A week with DA-11Posted by mats on: 4/26/2009

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.
Applying care in selecting interconnects and power cord, as well as footing,
(Marigo's Mystery Feet, stunning!) brought the Lavry into a soulful realm.
It seems unfazed by complex passages. Yesterday I enjoyed very much
Jarvi's take of Kalinikov's Symphony No. 1. Mischa Maisky playing Bach's
Solo suites brings a warm glow to the heart. The sound from my Mac via USB
is correct in tone compared to the CD's, but a little softer in focus.
My 10' USB cord with a 6' extension probably makes any comments here ridiculous.
Help is on the way. Any suggestions regarding Mac to DAC connections would be appreciated.
