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!

Just learn from this thread that Lampizator also produce a Transport. Reading through their pages, it seems that it only has S/PDIF output and limit at 24/96. Is this correct? So it won't work with DSD stream? Thanks for sharing the info.
Hi,
While not an expert I do have first hand experience with the TranspOrt which is really a streamer built on the bones of a Squeezebox Duet. (Go to the Lampizator.eu site and read about and see how it is made.) Yes it is technically only capable of what you say above. But, it in reality does much more. In short the thing sounds incredible. What it does to Redbook negates any need for hi Rez offerings, (have not heard DSD yet) I have tried it with a Lampizator 4 DAC, a Theta Gen 5a, and the PS Audio PWD II with Bridge, in each case, the Lampizator transformed the sound to a bigger, bolder, more realistic sound than before. Can't wait for mine to be delivered.
No, it wont play DSD. It is based on the SqueezeBox receiver and is limited to 24/88.

People who have one say they dont care about HiRez anymore as its sounds so good on RBCD.
