No. I've had both and the Dart is better. 
Experiences w/ Lampizator level 2?
Get a copy of the latest Hifi Critic. They review the Lampy. 
BMC DAC Pre
I am not a dealer. I am just a music lover. I have heard alot of really nice DACs. The BMC DAC into BMC monos is really awesome. You can find a better DAC, but you would have to spend twice as much. You should take into consideration the fact that... 
Worlds best DAC
Has anyone auditioned the TotalDac and if so is it considered among one of the best?I have it. It's the best I've had by far. (eg. Mpd-5, BMC DAC1, Empirical Audio (top upgrades).

USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC
I have personal experience with Wavelink and Off-ramp v4 with Ultraclocks and monolith battery. I sold the wavelink. The EA is far superior via spdif or I2s. I doubt there's any better USB to spdif/i2s converter out there. 
Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet
As a former NAD M2 owner I would be interested in such a product ONLY IF there were an asynchronous USB input. Many others have done the PCM--->PWM---->analog amplification.(eg. NAD, Lyngdorf) But to my knowledge, no manufacturer has done it...
