I love my DA10. I auditioned 4 different DACs and chose this one. Still, I had to do a little test. I had my wife help me do a blind A-B test to see if I could hear the difference between Crystal mode and Wide mode. I could NOT tell the difference after many attempts. For reference I have a stock SB3 and a Blue Jeans digital coax cable.
Even knowing this, I still would not hesitate to recommend this unit to anyone. It simply sounds best. -Ben -- Ben Diss 'SB3' (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html) -> 'Lavry DA10' (http://www.lavryengineering.com/productspage_da_10.html) -> 'BAT VK-31SE' (http://www.balanced.com/products/line/Vk-31SE/index.html) -> 'Halo A21' (http://www.parasound.com/halo/a21.php) -> 'B&W 803D' (http://www.bwspeakers.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.models/label/Model%20803D) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ben Diss's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4289 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33304 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
