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!

Have any Lampi fans looked inside the box?? Scared me off! Looks like one step above a high school science project.

Twb2, Wikepedia is a dynamic and evolving source of information that endusers can edit. Care to review my post above (which I assume you missed) and provide a more nuanced definition of troll? Should it be more or less restrictive?

Lampizator, much like TRL, deliberately employs old school methods of fabrication in the name of SQ. Although it is easy to take a cursory look and throw stones, the grand irony is that it is harder and more time consuming to do it that way. You yourself transitioned from old school and boutique (Wavelength) to new Asian wave (Lumin) with circuit boards galore. Both approaches can work obviously. It would be interesting to compare Lampi (+ transport) to the Luminator.

Twb2, I saw that you are designated as a "commercial user." What does that mean and what if any professional audio affiliations do you have?
Wisnon, I see your posts on Lamp in various websites. Do you have a professional affiliation with Lukaz or just a satisfy customer?
Knghifi.

I am just an extremly happy customer and one of the first commercial ones.

I only met L in person in Dec last. Many of you guys met him before I did. He is more often in the US than in Switzerland.

Its funny though, other people ask me if I work for Goldmund, and yet other will have to ask if I work for Illusonic, Swisscables or Rowen.

I champion what I like, nothing more.
Has anyone compared the Lampizator Level 4 to the new Wyred4sound DSD SE DAC?
Wisnon,

From Lampizator Transport webpage:

Plays files in untouched form - full resolution. (up to 96/24)

It appears Transport is no longer based on SB Duet. SB Touch? proprietary design? Any ideas?
