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!

Forgot to mention that Positive Feedback wrote a nice article and defined all these file formats and also reported that on an Apple computer WAV files sounded better than AIFF.
I don't hear a difference between ripping cd's to WAV using either I Tunes or XLD.
Ya some don't. Who knows, but I am not crazy as my wife hear the improvement also. Also, wav files play directly from my Mini SSD drive sound a tad better then those played from my outside storage device.

Best sound is SSD drive with wav files on my system, with a Mini, in my room......Ha! Nice big improvement.

Again, many experience the same thing as it has been written about and reviewed. Many factor perhaps.
Steve, I blame your Offramp converter as it opened my eyes to working at maximizing the performance of my computer based front end. The improvement it brought really opened my eyes and surprised me.

It could be only Apple based front ends reflect the wav file improvement? I don't know and have not done enough testing with different computers, hard wired vs. wireless etc....

Like JWN has done, just try it and if no improvement comes, then no need to deal with the work and hassle involved with file conversion.
Grannyring I'm only talking about WAV files. I don't hear a difference if the WAV files came from XLD or if they came from I tunes. People say XLD sounds better, but I don't hear it.
