Transporter V Lavry10

[tomjtx]

Has anyone compared the analog out Transporter to Transporter digital>Lavry10
and or SB>Lavry?

This question seems to pop up a lot. I'm really curious about this Lavry DAC. Anyone in the NY/Northern NJ area have one who can come by and bring it? I've got a Transporter and would love to do a comparison...

Here's a "DAC Showdown: AQVOX USB 2 D/A vs. Benchmark DAC1 vs. Lavry Black DA10" from Head-Fi.

that's a good review, thanks for the post.

I have a dealer friend who carries the transporter. At some point he will bring one over and we will compare it with the Lavry and the SB and lavry>Transporter etc.
I have Watt/Puppies and Jeff Rowland amplification so the system is reasonably neutral and revealing.(or at least seems that way to me)

My SB has a Bolder modded elpac but no other mods.
My friend just became an SD dealer so I think he is still 2 or more weeks away from getting a transporter.
I will be happy to share my impressions although I would hasten to add they are subjective and someone else may have a different experience.

I was hoping someone would post some initial impressions. I know there are some who have the transporter and the lavry who have made very insightful posts on other topics (hint hint, highdudgeon?) :-)

Alas, no. I have a Transporter on order -- it's a couple weeks out. I have a stock SB3 and a Lavry DA10. The differences more mostly subtle, I think, but imaging is somewhat improved. The Transporter is simply more attractive: one box, great aesthetics, increased functionality, and the sound has got to be as good or better than what I have now. I look forward to a good comparison.

Hey Ben! Thursday evening works well for me...let's plan something...

btw - anyone nearby who wants to join us?

I sell the Lavry and Slim Devices products, normally run the Lavry off the stock Squeezebox 3's digital outputs. The Lavry DA10 overall is a superior DAC, but the Squeezebox 3 does have a bit more of that "im there" feeling although lacking in detail and clarity against the Lavry.

As for the Transporter, still not arrived here in Australia yet, should be this week. Can't wait..Hope i don't wet my pants in the excitement when it arrives. :-)
