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!

I have compared aiff to wav for hours today. Many CDs and each one sounded better in WAV. No doubt about it. A no brainer folks. Each CD file in WAV always sounded more natural and analog if you will. Easy to convert to wav in iTunes. The art stays and the order stays. The sound is better in an obvious and thrilling way.

More body
More foundation to the music
Larger stage
Less forces and more natural highs
Removes last vestige of digital glare and nasties in the highs

I compared aiff and wav played off my SSD drive with Amarra playlist and the result is absolutely conclusive in my system. Anyone hearing would Agee.
Steve your Offramp and BNC cable are an awesome addition. Yes, I will trial the Dynamo power supply soon!

Your Offramp combined with the WAV revelation has me smiling more and more.

Learning more every day!
Bruce the Offramp BNC cable combo improved everything including the bass. Bottom line is the music is just more pleasing to me. I want to listen more.
G'ring, it is the ifi USB Power.
My mistake, I misread your previous post where you said you had the
Ultra Fi USB filter
and I thought you had one of these;
