@mglik If you feel strongly that your dCS DAC "frequently falls into the category of background music," then you are most assuredly using the wrong DAC. As for myself, I retired my CD player and my TT four years ago and now stream my music exclusively. I stream using an incredible Ayre Acoustics QX-5 Twenty streaming DAC, which fits my own personal musical taste amazingly. You just have to keep on searching until you discover a DAC that's a musical "knockout punch" to your ears like I did. With my Ayre Acoustics DAC in place, I don't miss my CD's or vinyl anymore. I've never had so much fun enjoying my audio system as I do now. Happy listening.
Are Lampizator DACs uniquely analog sounding?
Ironically, I read that Lampizator DACs don’t sound digital as a criticism.
Conversely, do they sound uniquely analog?
I enjoy my dCS Lina DAC but it frequently falls into the category of background music. I never feel that way about my TT.
Could Lampizator DACs be engaging like my TT?
