SteveB:
I have been reading some reviews about this DAC and the  positive results along with some of the unique design concepts and front panel controls caught my eye.Just wondering if anyone here has spent time listening to one to develop an opinion for what it can or cant do for the music.
Thanks

Carlman:
Do you have a link?  What's the buzz about it?  I mean, what are people saying that make it stand out?

WEEZ:
Looks like an interesting product. Don't know anyone who's heard it, so I can't help. Sorry. (the one with the gold front looks interesting as well...listed under 'Audiophile')

Welcome to AN, btw :)

Thanks weez.

 It took me a few days to get back with a little info but for what its worth here ya go.

I have not done a lot of research on this DAC. It just caught my eye because it is a small company and the DA10 has some unique features, some of which are under scrutiny on the diyhifi forum.See the links below for further info.

I like to be on the lookout for the overlooked gem in the rough. Dont know that this is one but it makes for interesting reading.

I own a Lavry DA-10.  It is a very nice sounding DAC.  Smooth, detailed, balanced out,  great volume control.

Now use my Opera Droplet as transport.  For once I don't have any complaints about digital edge, not enough detail or any other shortcomings that one finds on a CD player or DAC.  My only tweaking is around getting the right XLR cable.  Right now I am using a good but not great Wireworld Polaris 5.  I have a Grover cable coming and have very high expectations for it.

Let me know if I can answer any questions about it.  The folks I bought it from allowed me a few week demo, btw.

cheers
Bixby
