rossb Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Item: Lavry DA10 DAC Location: Sydney Price: $450 Item Condition: Fair Reason for selling: No longer required Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, bank transfer Extra Info: See below Photos: See below For sale is my Lavry DA10, which has been my "go to" dac for a long time. When it was released it was class-leading, and still sounds extremely good today. As with most pro gear, it is very neutral and very versatile. It has optical, coax and AES/EBU inputs, and XLR only outputs, which can be used with an RCA adapter (available from Jaycar or similar). The unit is in fair condition, with some marks and presents as used. I would rate it as 6/10 on the Audiogon scale. It still sounds amazing, however, and comes with the original box and manual, but no cables. Some reviews: Sound on Sound However, I'd recommend that those for whom audio quality is the most important consideration should audition the Lavry DA10 Black. Despite the frustrating lack of main output mute switch, a fiddly up/down switch for level control, and a single analogue output compared with the two of the others — and Narrow/Crystal jitter‑reduction only as high as 96kHz — this nevertheless offers the best sound of the bunch, giving you an effortlessly wide and deep soundfield. Having used all three for several weeks, I found that I couldn't personally live without the Lavry DA10... and it went straight on to the credit card! https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/3-stand-alone-d-converters-compared Positive Feedback The LavryBlack is an incredibly flexible and sensible product designed to appeal to both the pro-audio community and audiophiles, and as such it is not an easy product to pigeonhole. The Black's musical competence is so great, and it is so forgiving of poorer recordings, that I give it my highest recommendation for anyone who loves to listen to music hour after hour, across a wide variety of music of various recording quality, and wants to walk away from the experience refreshed and edified.https://positive-feedback.com/Issue41/lavry_da10.htm Pick up is available, or I am happy to post.
