| Aqua La Scala Optologic Mk2 on the cheap, used and sub $3000? @grannyring the Mojo Audio Mystique V3 does not support DSD! it only supports PCM up to 192 ... the whole ethos is purist PCM and anti-dsd. You even referenced this yourself in another thread ... "The Lampi Amber 3 is more vivid than the Mojo or O... | |
| Aqua La Scala Optologic Mk2 on the cheap, used and sub $3000? @three_easy_payments I haven’t heard the TRP so it might sound less forward than the Amber. But I am unclear how the TRP checks the R2R box? Correct me if I am wrong, but it is similarly DS chip based ?? And even bought used it is >> than op... | |
| Aqua La Scala Optologic Mk2 on the cheap, used and sub $3000? The op clearly states he absolutely requires DSD support so the Mojo wouldn't work.That said, op also desires R2R so the Amber doesn't fit that bill either.Holo Spring 2 LIII DAC is R2R and does native dsd well and works best in NOS mode. (The new... | |
| Aqua La Scala Optologic Mk2 on the cheap, used and sub $3000? I recently bought a new Amber 3 and absolutely love it. It is open, dynamic, palpable, and lifelike in its presentation. Maybe that would be seen as "forward" relative to something darker and relaxed but the overall presentation is just right in m... | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less Lampizator Amber 3. I have compared it to the Yggy and it's no contest. | |
| Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated or Separates? There are lots of long term LM owners in the USA. Check out the 63 page thread on the LM508/805IA on Steve Hoffman for example. I own an 805ia and can promise you that it's in another league compared to the PL's. Most integrated LM amps will easil... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. If you are going to go tubes, Line Magnetic 805ia over the PL Evo 400 any day. It’s in a different league and within your budget. Every single person who’s actually listened to both will say so. As an example, someone above said that Spendors D7’s... | |
| Lampizator Amber 3 DAC versus Primaluna EVO 100 DAC I have a new Lampizator Amber 3 and agree regarding the life like holographic sound. Really really wonderful. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? One other note on my new Amber 3. It came with ECC99 input, 12AU7 output, and 6C5S rectifier tubes. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I have been putting a brand new Amber 3 through it’s paces. Was using a Schiit Gumby multibit so my current baseline might not be sky-high but after trying a number of DACs including the Yggy and some NOS Dacs, with modest gains/differences here a... | |
| PrimaLuna EVO 100 DAC @cal3713 it's worth pointing out that others, on this forum and elsewhere, have liked the Amber 3 more than the AM Tubadour 3 SE. Seems dependent on ones tastes and system synergy. (I do have an Amber 3 with the new USB module on the way so hoping... | |
| Innuos Digital Players - Innuos Zenith MK2 vs Zenith MK3 or ZEN MK3 Sorry to keep derailing your thread but a quick fyi that Lampi NA had a new in box Amber 3 with the new USB implementation available ... so I decided to bite the bullet and grab it. Was never a huge fan of Amanero USB’s so this revision pushed me ... | |
| Innuos Digital Players - Innuos Zenith MK2 vs Zenith MK3 or ZEN MK3 @oglefront not sure what you are referring to re. twitter. I am just posting on the forum directly.Anways, I did indeed confirm with Lampi that they have recently updated the standard USB implementation from an off-the-shelf amanero 384 board to a... | |
| Innuos Digital Players - Innuos Zenith MK2 vs Zenith MK3 or ZEN MK3 @oglefront I don't see any reference elsewhere to Lampizator changing their standard USB interface from an Amanero board to what sounds like a proprietary implementation. Can you provide a link or some more info?? I am looking into the Amber 3 and... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks I know that the general consensus is that they a fair bit of power, but something seems amiss when a minimum of 400 watts is required to bring a speaker to life ... |
