Lampizator vs. Mytek Manhattan II

I recently purchased the Manhattan 2 and am a bit overwhelmed at its build, feature set and outstanding musicality. It replaced perhaps the most respected 10k dac on the mkt that I thought was awesome before the Mytek.
The Manhattan 2 is a stunning piece of gear that’s going to cost BIG bucks to exceed. FWIW I’m using it as my primary source in a very high end system.

I have listened to the Manhattan II extensively in an excellent system (not my own but I know it well) and was extremely impressed. It is easily in the same league as the TotalDac, which I have also heard extensively in the same system, but the two DACs have different strengths. The Manhattan is all about resolution and detail retrieval and in this area it is the king, in my experience of course. One thing to note about the Manhattan: it benefits greatly from the Mytek ethernet bridge. Before the bridge was installed, it was certainly excellent but not exceptional. I would not buy the Manhattan without the bridge. 

Thank you for the excellent feedback.

I am in touch with Michal from Mytek and plan to do a demo.

Cleopatra52, are you referring to the Roon WiFi card, when you recommend the Ethernet bridge?

Thank you,

The Manhattan II does not handle WiFi.  The optional network card accepts hardwired network connection.  I use it to stream Tidal via Roon.  The Manhattan II is excellent and I second "cleopatra52"

I'll register another vote for the Manhattan II.  I have one as as a DAC and Pre.  Can't imagine anyone not liking the sound.  Used the Manhattan I for a couple years and upgraded to the II.  

Y’all really think the Manhattan II can beat the Lampi B7 or say the Golden Atlantic? Not coming from a place of knowing, just wondering...

I love the featur set of this DAC, have read the reviews but still wonder what its sound signature is. House sound for Mytek anything like Lampi? 

Also, for price, might want to look at the Mojo Audio Mystique V3. 

I wonder if the soundstage size of the Manhattan II can match the Mystique.
