I have had my Lampizator Transport for a week. It took a day and a half to get it up and running. I didn't really understand how the Squeezebox Duet was suppose to work and then I had to open specific ports in my firewall and router. One final trick was taking the battery out of the controller after resetting it back to factory settings. Ming Su, the North American distributor, was very helpful and responsive.
And then MUSIC...! I have the Gen 3 Level 3 Lampizator DAC to go with the transport. I had tried a Sonore music server and a SDtransport and both were better than my Altis Audio CDT III transport. But the Lampizator transport is several levels above the Sonore and SDtransport. They still sounded somewhat digital but the Lamp trans is so much more analog, musical, tons of detail, soundstaging, and much more. If you can get thru the setup problems and initial production problems that have occurred with the unit, you will be rewarded. It is definitely worth the trouble. So you can count me as an estatic owner.
