New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house


Wonder if any other new owners of this DAC are out there as I find it to be the finest digital playback I have heard to date. This is the first digital front end piece of gear I have owned that has transformed my music.

Ya, other digital gear does this or that better, but this Lampy breaks through to a new level of musical enjoyment. Clear view into the music helping the speakers just disappear. Only 24 hours of break in and the music flows so sweet, intimate and seemingly without boundaries.

Looking under the hood I see an impressive power supply with films caps and several high quality chokes. Point to point silver wired except for the digital and USB boards. This is a three tube player that is tube rectified. One has the option for SS rectification if desired.

Ya, I love this Lampy!

I didn't want to give my impressions of the file differences, but thought Grannyring would like to try and see which he may like better

Wow after only a couple hours the Bendix tube is making
everything sound better Air, tighter bass, more toe tapping
Gary and everyone who witnessed my bad behavior

I would like to apologize for my terrible behavior , on Audiogon last night
My problems should not be taken out on someone else
Again I am sorry

I'm with Mitch would like to know more about how much better and differences between the 4 and 5
Thanks for the update wav will take it up another notch, or it does on my system
Grannyring
Did the Offramp improve the bass as well
I rip all my CDs to a playlist makes the metadata less important,WAV is so much better sounding I don't mind the hassle

In my setup right now the Aulilac is better, when I can afford a Dude I will get another Lampi
I'm using Audirvana and upsample everything to 176. Per Lukaz's recommendation
It looks like the Lamp had a volume control, was it ever run direct to his amps?
That's too bad was hoping to find out if the Dude helped the sound or was the Lamizator great on its own
Sounds like a plan Grannyring
Let me know what works for you, to add more confusion dont forget the Offramp
Do you know why Wisnon, I thought the two box approach was to allow for more premium parts?

Thanks
Good to hear, looking forwarding to meeting the crew, will Lukasz be attending
This is a wag but I don't think anybody said the 7 was the flagship it's just different
I have a Lampi Big5 with VC, I sold my Coincident Speaker Tech Statement Line Stage, and like the sound I'm getting straight to my TRL Samson's
I don't need one, you need to hear the Big5 straight to the amps, it is so much better then the 4
My CSL has been sold, the difference I remember was the Dude sounded big I mean really big, and Bill mentioned it did overload the room
The test now is if the Lampi L5 direct is as good or better than with the Dude in the system
As of now I'm more than happy running the Dac straight to the Samson's
