| DAC Questions Just a note about the HDMI / i2S if you are considering buying a Lampizator. I own the Lampi Atlantic 3. I requested a modification from factory, to have them install an i2S connection, but it was not available. They kindly responded and, understa... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 chilehed Thanks. I did contact Lampizator but they are not currently offering I2S input options. Their answer: "Problem with i2s is there's no universal standard. So unless we know the specs you're trying to match, it won't be compatible." W... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I requested it from Lampizator and they said that the units no longer come with custom input options. They come standard with 4 inputs. No I2S option. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 chilehed Thanks for your input on this. I do have the ENO filter connected from ethernet line to Zenith. I have it direct-connected to a LAN wall slot fed from router in different room,no network switch, just direct connected. Like you found th... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 I'm having a Lampizator Atlantic 3 made and shipped to me right now. I have the Innuous Zenith Mk3 as music server and still have a Denafrips Iris DDC that I've been using with a Denafrips Pontus II (that I will be selling once the Lampi arrives)... | |
| Intona filter shortest USB connection Thanks guys. Much appreciated. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi: Thanks so much. Best breakdown I've been able to get! Even though I haven't directly experienced this dac, I have experienced other equally costly ones that were mentioned in this now-long thread that I just didn't feel had a soul... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi: I know you have a very high-end T+A Dac system. My question: have you spent any time listening to the DAC200? I spoke with Elliot from T&A NA and he has been very helpful. He also directed me to the very good review recently... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To blisshifi and tvad: Thanks to you both for good thoughts and opinions based on your experiences. It sort of goes down to solid state or tube. In my own reduction to some of the ones left on my list, I've narrowed down to a Bricasti, the T+A ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Good answer and good point. Yes, if I was exclusively doing what the speaker designer recommends, I wouldn't have created this whole discussion. I do respect his opinion as it jibes with many others and has won best of show in some setups. But I... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 The 10 Audio review was positive until he switched to upsampling. Many of us leave our DACs in NOS anyway. It sounds like this unit does get the job done. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 From what I could find, there are some positive reviews as well as negative and also some mixed ones. It might improve someone's DAC need if they are moving up from a < $1K level DAC. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 jon2020 Thanks for the info about the Audio-GD R7HE Mk2. I cannot find the link to a Stereophile review. Could you put a link up for us? Thanks. | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 Update: Denafrips has just released a new version of their flagship "Terminator Plus 12th". It is supposed to have some good improvements: "Optimized Critical Circuitry" "Further reduces noise floor." "Greater Tonal Density" "Ultra High Resolu... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 To rja: Yes, it is getting good reviews. To: tvad: I spoke to Lampizator today and was given some interesting information. First, the Amber 4 is a solid upgrade from the Amber 3. Second, the Baltic 3 is in the middle of an important upgrade... |
