I don't think I have ever heard of a Lavry product referred to as "mediocre." Considering these are some of the most respected -- and used, especially by the classical crowd -- DACs in mastering studios says rather a lot about their quality. These are professional, not audiophile, products (with one exception, and it costs $8k) and they are priced sanely. They are also meant to perform at the highest possible levels. Do you honestly think you will find a DAC that is in some substantive way superior to the equipment used to record the sound?
