New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Well Vortrex just posted this at AudioCircle

Wisnon,
Yeah I noticed that post by Vortex and then I also noticed he promptly put his Lampizator up for sale...after only owning it two weeks? There is also another Lampizator 4/4 currently for sale where the seller is using close to the exact same language as the previous seller used in July (including the reason for selling). The unit was reportedly made in May of this year so, it is being sold for the second time after only 4 months. There is a third unit for sale at AAsylum with the serial number one after the unit made in May, a fourth unit that was just listed at the end of August with an even higher serial number (that has sold), and a fifth unit listed a couple of weeks ago that appears to have sold. All of these Lampizator's changing hands after being owned for only a short time may mean something, or nothing, but it does give me pause before thinking about a $3-4K expenditure. I sure would like to hear one in my system.

Glory,
My MUSE Erato II was my only source prior to computer audio. I stupidly sold my Thorens TD-166 MkII (that I had owned since college) at a garage sale when I decided to permanently switch to "perfect sound forever."

Vortrex is selling his Dac LOL

Mitch2,

Many of these guys have upgraded to L5 and Big6 after hearing the L4! One guy moved to PBD because he wasnted DSD and rips vinyl to DSD128 now. Well last week the Lampi DSD128 was finalized and I have one of the first ones. The same fellow who moved to PBD (who loved the Lampi PCM, even better than the PCM on the PBD) asked me to see if I can get a hold of a PDB-3 and compare them on DSD. It so happens that I may be able to in a few weeks as I know demo room with PBD 3 and 5 and its on our agenda. It is possible to retrofit DSD on a PCM Lampizator Dac now.

I wont tell you what to do, but I suggest you listen for yourself and make up your own mind.

BTW, Vortex said:
I have all the original shipping materials for a safe journey to the new owner. I placed this order right before I unexpectedly bought a house and decided to move cross country. All my time and finances are needed for this new venture.

That's correct, I'm selling mine. I had the idea of starting to enter into the digital world and placed an order for this DAC. A week later I had the opportunity to buy an amazing house that's 2500 miles away. This was not in the plans at all. Now, I'm scraping money together for the deposit and moving cross country within the next 2 months. It's a great unit, no doubt about it. I won't say I like it better than my analog, but I can see how some may think so.

The old I am moving away and need $$$ trick LM$O.
