Are Lampizator DACs uniquely analog sounding?

This impinges on the old debate of digital versus analog. The dCS gear you have is top notch. There are DACs around that sound warmer and fleshier, if that's your thing. I had a Holo Audio May KTE R2R DAC that sounded warm and 'analog', I replaced it with a dCS Rossini and prefer that in most every way, though I can understand why some might not want the 'accuracy' of the dCS, and might prefer the more 'colored' and accessible sound of an R2R DAC.

Horses for courses.

@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.

dCS is very linear. Any tube gears colors the sound and adds some distortion. You can try something simple first, like add tube buffer or preamp before replacing DAC. See if you like change in the sound. Not BAT, they are very linear, but something like Audio Note.

They are quite a bit more analogue sounding than most DACs, but that does not make them unique.  Audio Note DACs deliver a similar kind of sound.
