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 misspoke. You would need the Synchromesh unit

Agear (Steve) are you going to be at CES? If not will the Off Ramp be there?

Empirical Audio does not exhibit at CES anymore because it is primarily a dealer show. We do RMAF and Newport.

Jwm, I won't be there due to my work schedule. The Lampizator crew will be there with three different dacs (L5,6, and 7) along with Lucas's new USB transport. They are joining forces with Dale Pitcher from Intuitive Audio. Should be killer.....

We will indeed be there, however, based on logistics I think we will only have an Level 7 dsd and L5 DSD.

Those DACs along with the GM70 monos, TranspOrt, two music servers, amp stands, etc., are already a tremendous amount to carry and we'd like the two DACs we do show to have both PCM and DSD capabilities (don't have a Big Six with DSD on hand).
