Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?

shootouts are useless for several reasons.

they are unreliable.

they don't include a large enough sample of components.

they don't include a large enough sample of listeners.

experimental design may be flawed.

thus, the results are not subject to extrapolation to any other context than the shootout itself.

finally, a listener who was not part of the group may have a different opinion.

Yes maybe one of the dacs in the shootout was having a bad day.

Mainly - Micromega Trio, Wadia X-64, EMM, Audio Note DAC4.1x and DAC5.1x and many other in between that I don't even remember now such as California Audio Lab, AA, Sonic Frontier, PSAudio, Theta??

I have always been a fan of Lukas. I love his passion and tinkering with audio gear. But, I have also respected Steve at Great Northern Sound Company (another modder-but worked many years at Wadia), and bought the new Wadia S7I with GNSC Statement mods. Should get it in a few weeks. I like the fact that if something happens, Steve is only a few days way. I am a big fan of Lampizator, the Swiss Weiss, and of course, Wadia. I would like to add, I also have a Burmester 089, and that is one world class CDP/DAC with VC. I also just picked up a tubed preamp- Concert Fidelity CF 080 LS/X. I like my tubes in the pre, vs in the source.

In the next few days there will be a pro review done by stereomojo. Should be interesting.
