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:

The regular readers of my audio blog probably have read the thread: “How to record FM broadcasts” at:

I was not looking for the card to do any buffering; quite opposite I was looking for ONLY I/O interface with no logic aboard. To use PC as the music CD server? What for? It might be a WAV files server, but only t...

Romy Hi, I apologise for the uncalled for familiarity, sadly the AMR had been whisked away before the arrival of the Lavry , it would have been interesting to experiment , I spoke to a chap today whose friend has the AMR and really likes it, he belie...

Romy Hi you also say that objectively the lavry is better, but subjectivel.... what do you mean? Has the Lavry greater resolution is it more dynamic is the timbre/tone more beautiful/real? Thanks keith. ...

Wow, it is worth to live in Boston and have a day of miserable rain.
I really like what I was getting with CD and I have a few very interesting results coming that should be even more exiting, at least one of them is more defiantly is very exciting ...

There is an observation that I would like to make as my updated DA924 getting in its final stage of burning in.
I feel that it is high likely that the lowest LF improvement that I reported above were not as huge as it might flow from my comments abo...

Dear Romy,
My tests showed 2 separate types of noise/interference being caused when TU-X1 & DA-924 were switched ON while the TU-X1 was set to OUTPUT FM: -
First noise/interference, the Sansui TU-X1 was passing an AM broadcast on VARIABLE OUTPU...

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:a) analog interconne...

Hi Mats:
Thanks for the update. I find the Lavry DA-11 to be an interesting unit, not because of all the "features" but because of Mr Lavry's long history producing serous DACs and the consumer-friendly pricing. I do wish that Mr Lavry did...

I once came across this discussion about the Lavry DA-10 clock.[url]http://www.diyhifi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1027&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=90[/url]My knowledge or lack of it doesn't allow me to verify this claim but the discu...

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 ...

[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...

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....

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

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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"][Lavry] now is 25 years older and shall be 25 years more cynical <...> When he made his Gold 924 he trumpeted his define al, over the world and there was a reason for it - it WAS great design. Now with new DAC one wo...

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...

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...

I have been wanting to set up my components for recording of broadcasts for a while now so this would be good incentive to shift my backside into gear.My Sansui TU-X1 has been restored and improvements made. I am very happy with the results at ...

[quote user="peter foster"] The TU-X1 sounds to me as though there is a dolby processing happening even when the dolby feature is off. [/quote]You might check if your country decoding switch is not in a wrong setting. It located at the very top of th...

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.
I know quit...

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...
