New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Hopefully Lukasz still makes the SB Transport, as I keep hearing good things about it. My own Duet is modded with better caps and is fed by a dedicated LPSU built into my L4, but the clock upgrade and digilampi section, plus the i2S internal implementation apparently takes it to another level entirely.

Later this year I will likely take the plunge.

Wisnon,
The Lamp 7 uses the level 5 power supply and the level 6 circuit. The implementation of the DHT tube is true brilliance in my opinion, low power DHT are capable of splendid natural sound. I absolutely love the 300b but the very good versions of this tube are expensive and you don't need their higher power output for a DAC application. I'd go with the 2A3 or the 45 tube and can't imagine how someone couldn't be thrilled with the fabulous realism they'd have. I think the level 7 is pure genius in concept and execution. DAC chip directly coupled to the DHT grid no resistor or capacitor in the way, then Duelund CAST output coupling capacitors. No
stupid OP-amps with their tag along NFB! Like I said previously, Lukasz is
one very smart man.

Charles,

Knghifi, that all makes sense to me. Isn't your background computers? I think that is what Gary Anderson told me. You need a system thread too so you can show off those TADs....

Grannyring,

I think the USB input of the Lampizator works VERY well when paired with a quiet server. I have one friend that tried my L4 and another L4 owner with a Sonicweld Diverter/Offramp4 and both preferred the music via the USB output through their PC/Modded Mac Mini. They felt the converter had better timing and pace, but they both agreed that the effortlessness, 3-D and magic was much more apparent with the USB connection. At the end of the day, my friend sold his Offramp4. So I guess it all boils down to personal taste and is very system dependent. I have no doubt that the Offramp4 sounds superior in your system, but just want to let folks know that the USB can sound very good too.

Great work Lampizator Team, sounds like you guys made a solid first impression in Vegas, congratulations. Hopefully you guys can set up shop in Newport Beach and Denver this year!

Just a quick shout out to High Water Sounds. Jeff and company have always managed to amaze me at every show I go to. He is one of the good guys at the show that just loves to share his views and passion about music. Their rooms produce music that just pulls you in emotionally and sound truly effortless with lifelike dynamics. The Cessaro horns are magical, but a pair of their entry level ones cost more than my entire system by a wide margin, so for me it's a pipe dream, maybe in the next life? Probably not...

Many members on this thread are familar with TRL Samson ... TRL SS sound. It doesn't sound like SS or tubes but just music. I tell ya, it's a superb match with the TAD E1. It's competitive with all MORE expensive SS amps I've demoed. Along with my VAC SigMKIIa, I wonder how it stacks up to Zesto and Concert Fidelity?? Look forward to the Newport Beach Show in May snd check them out.

Almost sold them last year and turns out the problem was my old EW Andra II. It's too bad Paul doesn't market his stuff.
