Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II


I am using the Ayre Codex as a stand-alone dac in my 2 channel system right now, and it sounds great.  I am now interested in the Lampizator Amber II dac and wondering how both dacs compare in terms of sound quality.  Has anyone ever heard of both dacs?  Thanks.

what did that run $$$$ if you dont mind me asking
did the DAC have to go to Poland for the mod or ?????
Resurrecting an old thread instead of starting a new one.. 

The Lampizator Amber 2 was recently updated to a 2019 spec, including the digital engine that trickled down from the upmarket Pacific DAC.  It now has full PCM support, as well as up to DSD512.  Supposedly it’s a whole different animal from the original Amber 2.

Anyone experience one yet?
Codex measurements are awful. Probabably is not necessary to spend that much to upgrade.

BTW I just looked at the Lampizator site and there are not data of the performance of their DACs, just blah, blah. Huge red flag for me.

Ayre DACs have a listen and measure switch for a reason
try them out before passing judgement on the fruits of an incredible engineering team, who are also nuts about music.
As for Lampizator, another genius engineer who loves music.
hard to go wrong with either.
disclosure: I own an Ayre A2D and. Lampizator DAC, along w others...

Hey Probabably is a new word in NJ you could even be told, hurry up ,. spit it out ya studderin prick ya.

The only thing we like more than SPs are
 parrots repeating what they read of course without even listening and probabably spew worthless chunks like half a sissy.
 
I promise you its beautiful and have run the Ayre Codex up to pretty much all Dacs at 5 k and it easily competes and then some.
