Lavry DA10 vs. Aqvox D/A USB2 MK II

Digital Drive

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

158.232.77.100

I can get either of these DACs for around the same price.
The system I'm working towards will be fully computer based so the Lavry would need a sound card with appropriate output whereas the Aqvox could be driven off the USB with an ASIO driver. Given that I'd probably go for a higher end soundcard I guess that puts the Lavry at being $400 or so more than the Aqvox with the latter still offering the possibility of putting in a soundcard at a later date if desired.
Aqvox also gives greater compatability with both XLR and RCA outputs.
On the reviews I've seen my impression is the Lavry seems to be more resolving of the two whereas the Aqvox is said to be more engaging.
Downstream I will put an integrated amp in the $2,000 range and most likely the Gallo Reference 3.1 speakers. I like vocalists and engaging music rather than dry, bright and analytic presentations.
Any comments from users of both of these on which unit they would opt for in my place? Apologies in advance but I will cross post this.
