Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?

The Lamp. level 4 is now being offered with a remote controlled 64 step ladder resistor volume control, as an affordable option.

If the volume control is built into the DAC a passive preamp is avoidable. So are impedance mismatches if the DAC's volume control is designed properly. Many digital sources with volume controls work well going direct into an amp. I'm considering going back to that option myself.

Sold my TRL Dude Pre Amp and run the L4 Lampizator direct into my Tenor 75Wi that has volume control and run it as an integrated amp. Sounded better without the Dude so I am Dudeless. Invested the $$$ from the sale of the Dude into the L4 vs. the L3 I was going to buy.

Last Dac for me boys and girls unless I go to L5.

Just want to point out that Lampizator DAC is a tube DAC and Weiss 202 is a solid state DAC. Very different sound and really depends on what the listener like. The tube vs. Solid-state sound has been audiophile discussion for ages.
IMHO- tube bass has weight but lack of speed like SS. Tube has midrange to die for and very silk smooth high. SS is clean but missing the musical emotion that DHT/SET people are looking for. The goal of Lampizator DAC is to be as close as to vinyl sound. Since I start listening with Lampizator DAC, my vinyl setup has been collecting dust.

Hi Buyersum,

I have a Lamp 4 with USB and balance inputs coming in about 2 weeks. I hope I hear what your hearing. I'm currently using a Wavelength Cosecant V3.
