Lampizator Amber 3 DAC versus Primaluna EVO 100 DAC

Curious if anyone has listened to both of these units.  Single ended with no volume control, they're basically the same price ($2750 for Lampizator and $2999 for the Primaluna).  I've seen outstanding reviews for both, but haven't been able to audition either. Any idea how they differ in SQ?

Anyone care to compare either of these to the Cambridge Audio 851N (My current streamer/DAC).

I would be interested in hearing both also.  The Primaluna looks very interesting.

dfairc777a,

Audio Circle has a forum section on Lampizator . You could check that out for feedback on the Amber 3.  I believe the North American distributor for Lampizator offers a 14 day trial period also.

There is a Primaluna owners Facebook page. Might be able to to receive some feedback on the EVO 100 , but it is a very new product. Might have to wait to hear any feedback from any owners.  Primaluna has had a couple different tubes CD players in production over the years. Feed back from these units might help give you an ideal on what to expect with their new DAC.  

What are the closest dealers for Lampizator and Primaluna to you?  Might be worth taking a long weekend road trip to audition in person and compare with your current  Cambridge Audio 851N.
