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!

Hello Clio,

I´ve also tried Izotope embedded into Audirvana but I still prefer upsample to 24/88 via Sample Manager, Izotope again, -at the expense of more disk space- because, to my ears, bass is better defined.

Regards,

Daniel

Bill, try streaming wirelessly into Steve's reclocker and then the Lampi. David S found that he preferred feeding his Lampi with a Sonos over his modded Mini + Ifi gadgets.

I personally I am looking closely at true digital transports coming down the pike such as the Lumin. No computers for me in the chain....

Agear, not sure I can do this with Offramp....it does not have a wireless option? Perhaps his reclocker unit does?

Agear - I have both Sonos and the Off-Ramp. Even using the Synchro-Mesh reclocker to reduce jitter of the Sonos is not as good as the Off-Ramp by itself. The Off-Ramp is in another class from the other USB converters.
