I made exactly this switch about a year ago. I loved the sound of the lavry but like you mentioned its a bit awkward in everyday use if you need speaker switching or more inputs.
The Avocet....well it blew me away. The ergonomics are great - and the sound seem even more open and natural than the DA10. I loved the mids on the DA10 but the top end when coupled to my ATC monitors seemed a tad (and I mean just a tad) dark. The Avocet sorted that out and I dont feel I lost any mid definition.

I meant to sell the DA10...but I didnt as its a fantastic box to have to have around as a AES to headphone amp.
