| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house My SS drive Mac mini always sounded good but, adding the Mojo Audio filter, linear PS, outboard AV drive, and cables took the performance to a level beyond my $7K disc player, IMO. Does this still fall short of being "audiophile grade?"depends on ... | |
| Worlds best DAC Dvavc, it was a decision based mostly on intuition. I know it's a sacrilegious thing for an audiophile to admit that, but it's true. I am at heart an "analog guy," and the L7 is, by all reports, one of the closest analogs of analog in the digital ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house If you use a non-audiophile grade transport (a.k.a. computer), then something like an offramp is prudent. Another affordable option is the l-fi product's from AMR. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I share Lukasz's bias regarding R2R chips. I have had the thought of putting the 6 chipset in the 7 along with separate DSD functionality. Redbook and DSD are the only digital file types that hold my interest at this point.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house 05-09-14: Radiohead99Lukasz, Does level 7 down samples everything to 44.1? On redbook material how would you compare the sound of level 6 vs level7?The 6 downsamples to 44.1. The 7, like the 4 and 5, plays the native resolution. As for sound, who ... | |

That is high praise from Myles given he is a vinyl head. Jafox, Remember what I said about avoiding hearing the $... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Blah Blah Bleet.Every Jadis that I have ever heard sounded like a worn out ST-70 with new tubes. There... But not there.The high end on a Jadis sounds like an old snake trying to whistle and the low end sounds like an in-estrous baboon bouncing up... | |
| Phasured to Life NOS1 I guess a lesson here is, if you have a top notch tube pre, then if your DAC is tube or not isn't that important. Very true. Thanks for the report Bill. I have experienced similar things trying to go direct in comparison to a TRL Dude and it was n... | |
| Phasured to Life NOS1 Ha, Pat! You were my partner in crime on that fated speaker shootout. God bless Bob (formerly Sp Tech), Dale (Intuitive Design) and Duke (Audio Kinesis). All fabulous people and fabulous designers.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Abruce, they are worth a try. I believe they have a return policy. I find the impact of Sistrum correlates with the amount of vibrational energy at hand (subs>Speakers>tube amps). Start with the Apprentice line. It is cheap and you can try i... | |

| Phasured to Life NOS1 Bill, I also enjoy your thoughtful and thorough approach. It appears you are demonstrating signs of early PTSD, but please persevere. I have performed a fair number of blinded tests (thankfully they went unpublished) and understand they are a hass... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Abruce, to put it into further perspective, the Mapleshade shelving systems (which you own and are a fine product) are in the same price bracket at least according to their website.... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house SP-4 Sistrum Platforms™ Price: $ 2,975.00ReallyWhen you calculate the material and machining costs involved and then compare that to competing isolation products or to the average piece of electronics, really. The fact that they have an actual so... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Jwm, the Sistrum stands are good. Dale and the Lampi gang noted nice improvement when the L5 and USB transport were placed on SP4s at CES. |
