New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

Wonder if any other new owners of this DAC are out there as I find it to be the finest digital playback I have heard to date. This is the first digital front end piece of gear I have owned that has transformed my music.

Ya, other digital gear does this or that better, but this Lampy breaks through to a new level of musical enjoyment. Clear view into the music helping the speakers just disappear. Only 24 hours of break in and the music flows so sweet, intimate and seemingly without boundaries.

Looking under the hood I see an impressive power supply with films caps and several high quality chokes. Point to point silver wired except for the digital and USB boards. This is a three tube player that is tube rectified. One has the option for SS rectification if desired.

Ya, I love this Lampy!

Wired with CAT7 cable.
Wired is the way to go. Several months ago I replaced my generic ethernet cable with AQ CAT7 and it was HUGE improvement in every parameter.

If you plan to keep PWD for a second system, it's worth a try. I also find replacing the 2 fuses with HiFi-Tuning Supreme (direction back to front) was another improvement.

When I demos Lamp a year+ ago, Lukasz discourages tube rolling and doesn't apologies for his decision. So when did Lukasz changed his tune? Customers spoke up?

L4 has potential but didn't like the stock tubes. It was too agressive and 2D. Might give another chance if I can tinker with the tubes.

I hope this is not true since I have one on the way. What you describe is not what I have read described by reviewers, and is definitely not the sound I am expecting. Are most of you current owners rolling tubes to get the best from your L4G4s?
