Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?

Well so far he has stood behind his products admirably!

I can say that from first hand experience and from the few people who had any issues whatsoever.

Besides, many of us feel that no $5K DAC will be in the same league. I can say this as I spoke to at 5 other owners and gotten feedback from another 20 at least. This DAC is the business! Check the review!

I completely agree.Living in Canada,I would never buy anything that expensive unless I could have it serviced in Canada or the U.S.

Some guy named Norman made the front part of the review.
Wonder who he is? =8^D

I would not say shootouts are completely useless, but they are flawed unless the cables and other components are optimized for each DAC (or other components of a shootout).

The wrong cables will kill a component's sound. I've done this many times; taking my best sounding cable for one component and put them on the new component, only to get terrible sound. This also applies to Transport-DAC combinations, Amp to speaker combos, etc.

Many DACs sound better with a really good preamp, even though they can be connected directly to the amps. Put a different DAC in, and it may sound better without the preamp.

So the people doing the shootout, really have their work cut out for them, if they want to be thorough.
