Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???

Juan, thanks for the link. I have read Lukasz thoughts many times. He is the reason I am using Linux. Reading his view got me to research Linux and its advantages. I chose audiophile Linux v3.0. I was going to buy one of his dacs but I moved away from tubes. Not the sound but the energy efficiency, heat, hums and burn outs. Stayed with SS. Emm labs da2. Quite happy. As far as the dsd komputer name, I was being facetious. As far as the design making a huge difference in sound, I too chose the best parts and as it turned out the same case, streacom FC10. 
Zephyr24069, my system will play native DSD. The issue with that, for me, is there is almost no native I wish to listen to. Organ music just not my idea of good listening. Almost all dsd that I do wish to hear is in pcm. In that respect I do not hear a difference, for the better or worse, between formats. But then at 60 my ears may not be as good as yours.

That's interesting that you ended up with the EMM Labs DA2, Whatthe.  It was my favorite when I attended my first AXPONA show (2014).  I wrote about it at the following link:

It was later that I discovered LampizatOr.  Just curious:  Have you ever listened to a LampizatOr like the Golden Gate, Big 7 or even the Lite 7?

And as for formats, I've heard excellent recordings in their various permutations.  You're right:  so much depends on the quality of the recording, itself!  

Cheers,


Juan

You said:

I have not experienced this with my LampizatOr DACs (first, with the Amber DAC Plus and currently with the Lite 7 DAC).  Lukasz dials back the temperature with the tubes, so they don't burn nearly so hot.  I like that!  I've not had any burnouts or hum, either.

 

Juan, I have not heard the lampizator. I had considered ordering one for a while. But I decided to stay away from tubes. I was always SS. From reading hear on audiogon I decided to trie tubes. This is 7yrs ago or so. I bought really high-end stuff. Prefer not to name names. Had humming and other noise issues from day one. The Manufacture (owner) was at my home more then once. Also there was the heat and energy issues(not cost but waste). Then there is resale. Tube electrics go for pennies on a $ used. I had the dcs debussy and then the Emm labs dac 2x. I was very happy with both. Now with the da2 I am thrilled. My final choice. To me tubes are for audiophiles who wish to tinker. I just want to turn it on and it works perfectly every time. If I wish to tinker I listen to vinyl. I do have a yipsilon VPS-100 phono stage. It has tubes. I am Happy with it. But that's that.
