New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
Wisnon, I have owned some great modified transports and compared to my current computer based front end they sounded average......knowing what I hear now. I will never go back to a spinning disc. I would loose so much. I use the Amarra built in EQ... 
Review: Amadi Maddie Signature Interconnect
Nonoise, I did compare the Amadi Maddie Signature ic's to the Tempo and found the Amadi had all the same resolution and smoothness of the Tempo, but the Amadi has far better tone, body, weight, bass response and natural presentation.

Agear, the wallwart on the unit was actually much better than a standard wart as Steve does use/make a good one. The separate Dynamo power supply is much, much better however.I don't know the science as well as I should regarding jitter, waveform ...

Agear, I would agree with you in that I would like to compare. The Offramp and Dynamo together jumped the performance of my Lampi and digital front end at least 50%.The DAC is important, very important, but what it is fed is perhaps more important...

Abruce's, I just got the Dynamo power supply for the Offramp.......oh my! My Lampi never sounded this good! Trust me when I say the Offramp and Dynamo power supply will not confuse anything....you will know in a nano second how they improve the so...

Abruce, time for me to come over with my Dude again and instead of a preamp shoot out perhaps we now compare to the Lampy volume control?

Thanks Clio09. Ya, your comments seem correct. I will have to compare 88.2 files to 96. Many have said 88.2 sounds best.

Amen to the TRL Samson amps. Just great SS amps and known by very few unfortunately. Mated with the Dude you have something very special.I heard that combo with the Lampi dac in a fellow Agoner's system and it was just awesome!

The direct USB input from my Mini was no match for the Offramp into my Lampi spdif input. Not even close. The difference was so stark I cannot even imagine a different outcome. I use a modified Mac Mini.I am confused with the Lampi transport I mus... 
Silver cables
I compared the Tempo silver cables to Amadi as Ischronism was very kind to let me try them. They are very good ic's with superb detail retrieval and smooth sound.In the end I find the Amadi silver ic's more to my liking. They are just as resolving...

I have read up on the Lampizator transport and in the end it is really a converter just like the Offramp I already own. It takes the WAV, AIFF etc files and converts them to Spdif before sending to the Lampi dac. I decided to stick with the Offram...

Thanks Andrew, ya I was a little too sensitive and your right that I should start my own system thread. I will as soon as I can post my virtual system.

Looks like it connects to a computer.....love to hear some comments about it. Sounds like the Lampi room sounded great with Dale's speakers and the TRL Dude preamp. I wish I could have been there. I have only been to one audio show and that was so...
