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!

The TRL DUDE in my system was very good and I understand its loyal following. The Coincident Statement as Jwm stated was simply better sounding, more natural, pure and open. The DUDE had a recognizable signature and was by direct comparison veiled (ever so noticeable). System synergy? Very likely so, the CSL mates splendidly with the Coincident SET amplifier and speakers as one would expect. The CSL IMO is more nuanced and organically resolved (Jwm pointed this out during the listening session).

Really though the comparisons don't mean much, some will prefer the DUDE and some will choose the Coincident, too many variables of taste and system matching. Abruce went CSL to DUDE, Wilsynet (gon member) went DUDE to CSL. Either will improve the systems they're place in the vast majority of cases. Grannyring and I are both thoroughly happy with our respective preamplifiers. What's better than that? I don't know how one can argue that one is superior to the other under all the multitude of circumstances that exist.
Charles,
In case you ex-Lampi dac guys missed this:

AL's review from CA:

AS i have had my B7 for about 4 or 5 days now going 12 hours at 6 and 6 at a time . the pcm is as good or better than my msb Platinum stack . as it plays i am in amazement . the presentation is awesome its like hearing your music all over again. my home cpu stinks . and the dsd was good but not giving the wow that the PCM has. so i fired up my iMac and audirvana plus . i put on elvis 57 a dsd download . its only dsd 64 from analog . track 3 it has a simple clapping in left the channel . now clapping is a simple sound but so is a piano and most dacs stink at it this dac is giving me the texture of the hands as they clap. the only time i have heard this is with my msb. this may seem simple but its a milestone . this dac has given me my wow moment. i can hear into the recording so deep that gives me chills of realism . i now have my WOW moment.

thanks rob and most of all lukasz for this device and at this price its an even better wow for me.

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

Yeah in NYC, there are several Lampi owners, plus the distributors (Gopher and Bertto from AudioCircle)live in Long Island. I think Berto works in manhatten.

Contact them via the Lampi circle at that website or lampizatorNA dot com
