Post Subject: DA architecture: True Multibit vs. anything else.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/9/2007

Recently I found a way to make Lavry DA-924 to sound reasonable driven by my 16-bit CD transport. That made 3 DACs available to AD my 16-bit digital steam: Pacific, Lavry and Bidat. If Bidat and Pacific sound virtually identical then Lavry has very different sound. It is not that it is better or worth – it is very deferent. Objectively Lavry’s Sound unquestionably better, subjectively I am not sure – it is just different. So, I wonder…

Lavry is a Multibit , not the delta-sigma Multibit   but the true Successive-approximation-register Multibit. Engineers put True Multibits in a separate height all together calming large numbers of advantages of True Multibits against any other architecture. Still, I wonder if the True Multibits have “own sound”.  Lavry certainly has own Sound but I do not know if it is what  specific Lavry’s implementation has or it is a characteristics sound for the entire class of the True Multibit  converters.

Did anyone have researched the subject of “Sound of Multibits”?
