Lavry Black DA10 (2ch D/A - HP driver)

• AVAILABILITY/DELIVERY: On Order/Usually 4-6 days

---

Lavry Engineering introduces DA10, a new stand alone stereo digital to analog converter. The half rack unit can receive AES or SPDIF digital audio on XLR, RCA and optical link. The DA provides three Clock modes. The preferred modes are Crystal Mode and Narrow Lock Mode, but the unit also offers a Wide Lock Mode based on an internal Sample rate conversion for listening at non standard sampling rates. The level of the analog outputs (balanced or unbalanced) is controlled by an up–down switch and a 2 digit display. The “potentiometer free” discrete analog attenuator provides up to 56dB very high precision volume control in 1 dB steps. A state of the art discrete headphone driver is capable of accommodating at ease even the lowest impedance headphones. The unit includes a polarity switch, and a Stereo-Mono switch, a feature aimed at mastering studios.

The optical input of the DA10 can be connected directly to most current model Macintosh computers, including PowerBook laptops, and requires no addition interface. The requirement for this connection is that the computer must have a Digital Audio Output. This is in the form of a 3.5mm "combo jack" that outputs either a "wired" analog signal or an optical digital signal. The connection can be made using either a "Toslink to 3.5mm mini plug" interconnect or a "Toslink to Toslink" interconnect with a "Toslink to 3.5mm adapter" on the end that plugs into the computer.

Please Note: The DA10 is NOT designed to work with “earbuds” or any other headphones that are meant for use with portable battery powered equipment such as an MP3 player.

Specifications

• THD+N at max volume (volume = 56) – typical, 0.0008% FS, maximum 0.0013% FS
  Test conditions: 20Hz – 20KHz, -3dBFS sine wave, 22-22KHz BW
  At all possible settings and switch combinations.

• Dynamic Range: -110dB typical, -109 dB minimum
  Test conditions: Non weighted
  At all possible settings and switch combinations.

• Drive Capability:
  24dBu Balanced XLR output into 1K ohms at Volume = 56 or lower
  21dBu Balanced XLR output into 600 ohms at Volume = 53 or lower
  18dBu Unbalanced XLR output into 600 ohms at Volume = 56 or lower
  18dBu Headphone into 100 ohms at Volume = 56 or lower *
  18dBu Headphone into 50 ohms at Volume = 50 or lower *
  
  * PLEASE NOTE: Do not use “earbuds” or any other type of headphones designed for use with portable battery-powered devices such as an MP3 player. The DA10 is not designed to work with this type of headphone. The headphone output is capable of much higher levels than a batterypowered device in order to properly drive typical HiFi headphones. Damage may occur to the portable device headphones if they are connected with the DA10 Volume control set to a higher setting.

• Volume Control Precision:
  Integral linearity (deviation from straight line) – better than 0.1dB
  Differential linearity (step size) – better than 0.08dB

• AC Power:
  
  Voltage 90-264 VAC, Frequency 40-63Hz, Current 0.1A
  Fuse Rating 2.5A “Time Delay” *
  
  *Subject to change! Please always check the rating on the fuse and the one printed next to the fuse holder on the power supply PC board before replacement. Replace the fuse ONLY with a fuse of the same rating. If you have any questions, contact: techsupport@lavryengineering.com
  
  Please Note: The DA10 automatically adjusts to AC power inputs in the range of 90 to 264 Volts AC and line frequencies between 47 and 63 Hertz. There are no settings to change.

• Weight and Dimensions: 8” wide x 1.75” high x 10.75” deep (with space for front panel switches and rear panel connectors), < 5lbs. (shipping weight 6 lbs)
