New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
I see. I assume you have the Duelund CAST caps in yours? That is a good place to mod. 
Coincident vs Lamm
A class of very few .....as a small combined group on their own.A small grouping of the elite on their own. The few, the proud, the class of their own . Ya, it happens in all product categories. Lamm is indeed in a class very few own :-) I suggest... 
Coincident vs Lamm
Lamm makes the best SET amps on the planet. I have long wanted a set, but could never afford them. They are in a league of their own. I heard them on Merlin VSM speakers and that speaker has never, never sounded as good as they did with these Lamm...

Bug, tell me more about those mods? Never heard of them and am not sure what the heck they are?

Sorry, I just saw you meant the very latest new dac from Wyred. Don't know. I can say with near assurance the Lampi will be more musical if not quite as resolving. That is my gut or guess and not based on actual experience however.

I compared the Lampi 4/4 to a Eximus DP1 dac which is said and reviewed to be a better dac than the Wyred. No contest at all. The Lampi is so much more musical and real sounding. Far less Hifi sounding than the DP1.

I work so hard on mods I have no other free time:-)

Well I may have posted too quickly. The Jupiter HT flat stacked caps are sounding better. No longer thick or slow. Now they are more open and extended. Very warm sounding. I still need a little more resolution and air.... We will see.

Correct, L makes many choices that sound good. His choice of film caps in the power supply, quality chokes in his point to point wired, Pi filter power supply. Yes, he uses silver wire in the signal path. My unit is neatly wired and well laid out.

TWb2, you are exposing some of your own ignorance in your comment. The Lampi unit is point to point wired for the most part. The power supply parts are point to point wired. It will not look like a picture of the insides of a Sony or Spectral piec...

Sherod, you are right. Just don't have the funds for 6.8 and 3.3uf CAST caps. I will try bypassing the Jupiter next with some modded Wima caps. I also do this stuff to learn. 
Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
Ozzy, your onto the real deal. I agree with your findings based on recent endeavors.

Jupiter HT flat stacked still sound dull, thick and slow. Not happy with them thus far. The standard Mundorf Supremes were better on the mids of my speaker.....but perhaps more burn in is needed.

Bruce, the 4 rules and all I will ever need :-)

This thread is quite sleepy of late. Well, I love the Obbligato cap I put on the tweeter of my Coincident TVIII speaker. All burned in and it sounds far better than the old Solen cap. I just installed some Jupiter HT flat stacked caps on the midra...
