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!

It was a true pleasure meeting Lukasz Fikus. I had a long and very interesting conversation with him. He's quite engaging, very smart and candid. I believe that he will enjoy much success in the fickle high end market.

Charles, I had met him a few months ago and those were my same impressions of Lukasz...add to your list his 'humble' persona and sprinkle it with both audio engineering brilliance and an [obviously] discerning ear... and I agree with your prediction.
My "trail" of Lampi equipment first from an L4G4 Dac to my current Big 6 Dac and the Lampizator TranspOrt has me listening to the best digital sound I have ever heard. YM WON'T vary. It's refreshing to see how the combination of serious talent and hard work, works.
Let me add a big thanks to Fred and Rob too for their help in "Getting it done".

Can someone explain just what the Lampi transport is? No need for a computer? Thanks much.

Looks like it connects to a computer.....love to hear some comments about it. Sounds like the Lampi room sounded great with Dale's speakers and the TRL Dude preamp. I wish I could have been there. I have only been to one audio show and that was some 20 years ago in NYC!

Bill,
The sound was good but I don't think I heard the Lampizator at its best. The speaker was very new (Dale Pitcher was still working on it the day before).
The room was relatively small (unlike the rooms at the Venetian hotel, beautiful) and the speaker close to the wall behind it. My gut tells me the Lampizator will really sing in an optimized room/system.
I heard the Lampizator 7 in the Fritz speaker's larger space (speakers out in the open) . I think that ideally the Pitcher speaker just needed more room to breathe and burn in time.
Charles,
