I wander what device has higher quality of DA converters - Lavry Blue ot Mytek 8x192?

I'm really interested to hear the newer Mytek converters too, but I'm pretty well set up at the moment.  Though, the Antelope stuff has me stirring for a listen...

I don't like Antelope stuff

How come?

I received pictures of inside of Mytek 8x192 today. I can see that there are high-quality components and a good power module in it. One thing is not very good is that markingsof OP Amp's that would allow you to define sound character are erased. A friend of mine has compared work of Mytek 8x192 and Lavry Black (AD11/DA11). He told me that 8x192 is much better (more transparent and neutral).
I wonder what about Lavry Blue... I haven't found any pictures of its inside. Maybe somebody of you has any?

I use to have Zodiac  converter and I don't think it worth its money. Moreover, it broke twice for four month

From GS by Jim Williams, not sure if it's old though 2009:

"BTW, glad you like the Mytek sound, it's something I had to do with as I convinced Mihal to use LM6172 100 mhz 3k v slew rate opamps and Wima polyprop film caps. I have a DAC we collaborated on that used the PCM1704 DAC with THS3061 7000v/us slew rate, 300 mhz bandwidth transconductance class A opamps, direct coupled. It was designed for Mark Levinson Labs as a high end playback converter."

The Wima caps are there.
