Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???

Hi Zephyr,

I rip on another device.  My old Toshiba laptop, that used to hold down music server duties, is where I rip my files.  From there, I transfer them via external hard drive to the DSD Komputer.  That way, I have best playback.  

Cheers,



Juan 

This is a link to my system, although I recently upgraded from the Schiit SYS passive preamp to another hand-built passive with a better potentiometer and silver wires inside ensconced in a cotton braid.

I have used a Music Vault for about 10 years.  They can address pretty much all of your needs.  Not sure if they can rip DVD-Audio (I should find out, I have a few).  They have RAID auto-duplication w up to 8 TB local storage.  They can handle DSD files files.  Two of the best features are the Logmein software that allows Neal to troubleshoot remotely, and the Solid State HD for the OS, which makes it boot fast and maximizes storage.  No idea of how it compares to the Lampizator but I love the sound.  I used to serve the files wirelessly to a Modwright Transporter but now I have it hard-wired to an Antelope Zodiac DAC.  It can also provide analog out on RCA or AES/EBU jacks. 

Give Neal a call; he's very approachable and responsive.

Guys,...thank you both very much for the  feedback and pointers!
