New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Grannyring,
I believe Gopher and Shadowlight are referring to the speaker amp synergy and not so much the dac.

Grannyring I agree that is why I shy away from these marketing raves.

Some race feedback from the circle:

This was my first NY/NJ rave and it was a blast.
Major props to Deepak and Chhaya for opening up their beautiful home for us.
I've been to a couple of CAFs and RMAF but nothing beats being able to interact with manufacturers and listen to some awesome gear in a friendly, home like setting. Was fun putting a face to audiocircle monikers.

Lukasz and Merrill are great guys to talk to and build some awesome products.

I finally understand the buzz around Lampi DACs and the GM70 amp. Amazingly natural sounding and just get out of the way of music. Lampi DSD is the real deal, very liquid and gripping presentation.
Oh, and Taras A100 is a killer amp too. Almost tube like in its ability to flesh out the textures.

Listening to all this great gear has given me some serious GAS (gear acquisition syndrome)

I'm not sure what was wrong, but the Omen Defs were just putting out a lot of glare and brightness. I know the full range driver and the super tweeters well and it was not something I encountered previously.

I also spent a week with the GM70s on my Definition mk2s with nanotech driver and clarity cap MRs on supertweeters and the sound was divine and never resembled top end we heard at the meet. Admittedly mine is a much more expensive Zu with a more advanced cabinet design...

Grannyring,

I liked the sound that I heard on Friday night and seriously thinking about moving forward with L4 dac to be used with usb and JRiver setup.

My current setup is battery powered ack dac, dodd preamp, response audio modified jolida 302/502 and logitech touch. The primary speakers that I listen to are the Soul Superfly in the spare bedroom. The basement rig with Omen Def is setup for HT right now and the last time I had used them as 2-channel was around 6 months ago and my recollection is fuzzy.

The speakers (Omen Def) were the only thing that stayed the same in the basement and everything around it was totally different (speaker cables, power cord, transport, dac, amp). When Lukasz and I were listening to the Bigsix Friday night after setting up Omen Def the sound was 3D like in the room but after we moved the various equipment I felt there was bit of glare/harshness for the 5 minutes that I listened to the setup with the equipment.

Initially we had setup the Soul Superfly in the basement since that is my primary 2-channel speaker but the speakers did not work out in the basement. They sound flat in the room due to the room size (~13 x 30).
