The New Lampizator Horizon DAC

I for one have sat and listened in rooms that I cannot afford (who knows what the future brings? Maybe one day, I will. ) and I have loved seeing beautiful things I will not likely afford any time soon.

@willgolf   You’ve obviously worked hard to be where you’re at, sorry for your blindness, but also good for you on accepting the trade off for more attention to hearing.

Thank you for sharing some good news on the higher end of the Audiophile spectrum of things. Just as automobiles in the last 10-20 years have brought the mainstream into the performance territory of the elite of yesteryear, pioneers like Lukasz Fikus will help lift the expectations of the market in Audio.

Better technology and sound reproduction can only help the audiophile community. As engineers find increasingly more affordable ways to produce what was once out of reach for the common man, we aught to applaud such advancement.

A great example of this advancement and modernization while becoming affordable for the common man, is the flat screen television. A $1000 4K television will easily surpass the older plasma 1080P televisions that were a good ten times that.
The humble personal computer is another good example.

Thank you for sharing what we all should look forward to in the future.

Makes me wonder why some people claim to afford luxury equipment and can’t bring themselves to invest in a little bit of finesse, comradely, and even the most rudimentary manners.
I should think some decency should be common, and not a luxury.

If a member of Audiogon is susceptible to outrage and scorn of those who happen to be in a position to live a lifestyle seemingly unobtainable to themselves, perhaps more fulfillment may be found elsewhere?

And to anyone claiming 1990’s technology is where we should have stopped in the World of performance in all things audio, technology has certainly moved along. The fastest computer, the fastest car and the best audio playback systems from the 90s are measurably and demonstrably lesser than today’s technology, where pioneering has compounded upon a World of information sharing and engineering advancement.

Whenever an emerging technology is evolving, requiring hundreds of man hours to develop, the cost of development rests heavily on the early up takers of it. This is how it’s done, we should all be aware of this, and not be angry or afraid that we’re missing out. Some people pay the higher price to pave the way for technologies to develop, then eventually the prices of mass produced items are more affordable and volume is attained at significantly lower costs to customers, and often by even better quality by the time it's affordable.

@abd1 - yeah that's love.
My wife came with me on a road trip from Texas to Washington to listen to two systems, and I had to get trips to Arches National Park, Mt Reinier, Seattle, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite to sweeten the deal. My wife did agree to me buying a turntable, budget wasn't discussed.

Yeah his wife really loves him.
