New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

The 6900 is uber expensive costing 20x more than a nice Tungsram 40. So yeah, I have no doubts it SHOULD be better!

rave report please. AC is down, and there are some vagaries on Nervosa....

The meet was a really fun event, but I think the sound in the main room (basement) was good not great. The Zu Omen Defs we used weren't playing well for some reason and we had some excessive brightness. Still sounded good though.

We swapped out the speakers and eventually put in Taras amp with the Big Six and got great sound down there, but they were 4ohm speakers and the GM70 didn't like that.

Overall the sound was good to very good, but we didn't get into the realm of excellence which I know for a fact its capable of.

Speaking with Lukasz last night the gear made a second showing into an Audio club meeting in New Jersey on Sunday where the DAC alone was inserted into an already optimized/synergized rig where no one had even heard of LampizatOr and the feedback was outstanding. I've been trying to find discussion of that meeting...

Agear,

As a host of the event I had limited listening session with the DAC's (the night before) and what I heard I enjoyed it very much. On Saturday I got maybe 5 minutes all day to sit down and listen to the GM70, transport and DAC. The one thing that I would have to say is the synergy between my speakers and Lamp was not optimal (the basement setup) and we swapped a lot of equipment around which kind of made it difficult to judge the setup. I would say the high light for me was the DSD dac. Next time I will have to spend more time with the setup and take corrective action before everyone starts arriving.

Speakers and dac synergy? Help me understand? Did you also use the dac as a preamp?

Just tell us how it compared to the other dac in your system please. I assume you listen to music on that system regularly.
