Lavry DA10 USB?

Thread Starter 
I sent this message recently to Lavry Engineering who makes the DA10.

Hi:

I noticed that Benchmark just recently released its DAC1 with a USB
connection and was wondering if your company planned to do the same with
the DA10.

Here was their response.

Hi,
We make announcements when new products are ready for shipment. I cannot comment.

Regards,
Lavry Sales

Anyone want to speculate?

I guess Lavry might do the same. Then we can have a chat with him on these boards too!

Lavry will be coming to HeadFest. Perhaps you can squeeze some info out of their reps

If that happens, the DAC1 and DA10 would clearly be the big contenders for DACs for computer use.

I think if Lavry were working on a USB DAC, he'd be chatting with Gordon Rankin and Elias Gwinn on the Benchmark thread

Lavry has enough fires to put out right now.

Are they having problems or something?

My gut says they got something in the works to compete against the Benchmark DAC1 USB...

Someone should make a decently-priced ($100~$200) USB->SPDIF converter with all the bells and whistles (bit-perfect, low jitter, external/battery psu, etc). Or maybe a USB->I2S converter at the same price range. I'd much rather see DAC manufacturers incorporate I2S inputs into their designs rather than USB.

For these DACs that decouple the input clock from the converters via an ASRC you will see very little difference between an external S/PDIF or I2S connection.

I would have said you would expect no difference on the Lavry in crystal lock mode but now that it seems it has no synchronous reclocking circuit it wil behave just like the DAC1. A better external clock will impact what samples get re-approximated in the sample rate converter and a more steady stream will require less approximation.


Cheers
