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!

In response to Steve's comment about the Antipodes, I heard one a few weeks ago playing through a Meitner DAC and then through my Lampi L4/G4 at the dealer. Sounded great with both DACs, although I preferred it with the Lampi. But really only had a brief listen, will spend more time with the Antipodes this spring I hope. I certainly value Steve's opinion on the Antipodes.

Regarding AIFF vs WAV, some folks hear a difference and some don't: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/wav-vs-aiff-3239/

It may depend partly on software and relevant settings....
