New Lavry DA11 DAC

[nopants]

thanks for the info, I was thinking about using something nicer, but anything is really a step up from the included power supply.

Can you post any pictures? In what ways it is an improvement? Thanks.

I'll post some pictures when I get a chance. Pretty ugly though, I need to case everything. It's hard to qualify the improvement, but from 10k feet I'd say everything has "better imaging". It also makes the crossfeed function more noticeable. This was A/B-ing between the supplies, feeding the Megatron/007.

The diyhifi.org thread makes mention of a need for more decoupling so I'll probably give that a shot next. Thinking of cramming some copper clad underneath and shoving some caps inbetween. I should make purchasing some measurement equipment a higher priority...

 

If anyone had an interest in using shunt regulators for this, I measured -15/+15 at 375 ma and 5V at 75 ma (idle) if my memory serves me properly.

Hey,

I'm trying to repair the headphone output on my Lavry DA11 DAC which has a few burnt components. Unfortunately, the markings on some transistors, capacitors and resistors are now completely unreadable.

I've contacted Lavry support but they won't share the component specs (understandable from an IP perspective, but frustrating for repairs).

Does anyone here own a working Lavry DA11 and would be willing to take some clear, close-up photos of the components around the headphone output circuit? This would help me identify the correct replacement parts.

I really love this DAC and don't want to throw it away or sell it broken. Would be super grateful for any help!

thx
