I agree absolutely with the comparison of Lavry and BM... As per the main topic: I did the same comparison, lavry vs. SB3 analog out, and I find the difference quite significant in favour of the lavry. I also suggest one thing: the Lavry is a preamp as well, with no way to bypass the preamp, no fixed outputs.
I suggest trying to connect the lavry direct to power amp. It should sound better. Comparing the Lavry direct to amp. vs SB analog to Preamp to Power amp should give a clearer victory in favour of the Lavry, thats what happened in my case anyway -- COOLGUY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COOLGUY's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42797 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
