That was the gold; this is something new. Just saw it in the product announcements forum on GS.That was from a decade ago.

A thinking man's product made in the USA. I had a Lavry DAC, the DA10 and it was an excellent performer.
The engineering is top notch.
This alone puts it in a class all its own. I would love to hear this in my big rig today.
I'm not seeing what I get for $8100 compared to my $2000 RME ADI-2 Pro.
I think with the right gear the answer is more than 8 conversions. How many is enough?It's a studio/mastering tool.
The right question is "how many DA / AD conversion before hearing a difference".

The soft clipping on these is supposedly excellent for increasing loudness fairly transparently, which as I understand it is why MEs pay the big bucks for these.I'm not seeing what I get for $8100 compared to my $2000 RME ADI-2 Pro.
From one of the Lavry manuals. I was not aware they did analog tape simulation for clipping .The soft clipping on these is supposedly excellent for increasing loudness fairly transparently, which as I understand it is why MEs pay the big bucks for these.

The pdf manual says "The front panel of the Lavry Savitr is plated with 24 karat gold". So I suppose it is part of the MSRP as well.
Audio signals above the threshold are processed by an emulation of analog tape saturation without artifacts associated with attack and release times.
Hmmmmm, having formerly owned a few analog tape decks, with the Lavry I wouldn't need no stinkin' tape decks.Ahhh....
Well, having several analog tape decks, I don't need no stinkin' tape emulation....
Don't know if they also emulate different tape formulae and speeds or not. Perhaps different splicing tapes and different cutting angles also change the sound...Ahhh....
