Post Subject: Lavry is just a DAC, it is not all MultibitsPosted by Romy the Cat on: 12/9/2007
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 know technical and theoretical covering of this subject, I would like to hear people’s view about sonic advantages and disadvantages, with reference to a specific models.
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 whatever it worth the Lavry’s SPIDIF has one extra gain stage to convert the low voltage SPIDIF signal into AES/EBU. Lavry Gold with AES/EBU is much more interesting, practically if a right cable is used.

Yes, Lavry slightly greater resolution but in a different way, is it more dynamic but also in a different way. It has better bass and treble extension. It also puts notes together in a different way. It images slightly different – everything is different. It measures way better.
I was wondering if what Lavry does is a property of all SAR Multibits or it is just the characteristic of a given processor. The differences are very much there but some of them they are not so great that it would be conspicuous without having both SAR Multibit and None-Multibit playing alone.
