DA2002 

 

Introduction

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 

Welcome to the unique experience of listening to digital audio at its best! 

 

Only a privileged few have experienced the effortless manner in which the 

LavryGold DA converter reproduces every nuance of the music, without the 

associated listening fatigue common to less accurate converters. The result is total 

immersion in the performance and pure enjoyment of the artistic experience.

 

 
The no-compromise approach of designer Dan Lavry to the architecture of the 
DA2002 resulted in a unique design, with unparalleled accuracy. As a classically 
trained musician, he brings more than decades of engineering experience to his 
designs; a lifetime of playing and listening to acoustic performance has honed his 
ability to discriminate subtle yet musically important details in the music. 

 

Dan Lavry personally tests and calibrates each unit to be certain it 
meets the highest quality standards.
