The Lavry DA10 will sound a bit soft in many systems and is a house sound. Having owned both that and a Lavry Blue I wouldn't consider them very similar except for that house sound. And to suggest the DA10 comes close to the Lavry Gold is not remotely like my experience of them - more like wishful thinking.
The Lavry DA10 will definitely improve a standard SB3 in a good system, but the better route is to open up the SB3 and do some tweaks. I have ripped the guts out of a SB2, modded the board a little, stuffed it in a box with a Monica2 DAC board and stuffed a transformer and linear supplies in there too and can't wait to hear if the Transporter can match it - some very pricey CDPs I have tried haven't. All of that is fitted in a 1U height, half rack width aluminium box with a depth of 14 inches. From a front view it is no bigger than a SB2. -- Jenks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jenks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3413 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28369 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
