Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: BDA-1 upsampling is defeatable

I owned one of the very first Lavry DA10s from the factory, which had the silkscreen for the "L" and "R" channels crossed. I'd call the sonic flaws of the DA10 "subtractive" in nature- Devoid of digital artifacts, and maybe a slight "loss of information" compared to my reference Prism DA-2. But I didn't notice any semblance of the sonic ills I'd associate with ASRC.

I did see those conflicting comments regarding whether the DA10 used ASRC. Although I am kind of puzzled over this particular product being put under a microscope for "deceptive" design/literature, in the wake of other DAC products which struck me as a **lot** more questionable in this regard, yet not even getting a tiny fraction of the scrutiny. (In this rare case, the citation of the ills of ASRC were even consistent with my own. Especially the jitter-to-noise transformation.) I just wish such investigational undertaking was targeted toward every product, not just a select few.
