| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I was seriously considering the Antipodes DXe and then DV but the price kept going up with the new version to more than I wanted to pay. So I decided for the money that I would go for the Aries into my Lampizator L4G4. I'm having a blast with it, ... | |
| Auralic Aries w NOS DAC I just received an Aries and have been playing mostly Ripped CDs since I don't have much of a Hi-Rez collection yet except for a few demos. And Tidal is CD resolution and the Aries plays Tidal wonderfully. So not sure if overkill but for me the so... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hi there Agear! I loved your description of your wife's comments. I showed them to my wife and she asked if she could have her email. She looked over as I was typing this (she calls it Audiogon yellow) and asked:"do all the audio dweebs come out a... | |
| Best natural, musical DAC under $3K? Used Lampizators are showing up around $3k. Very organic and musical. | |
| Best music server for the money Maniac, Are you sure Steve is a dealer for Antipodes. Antipodes lists Perotta Consulting as an authorized dealer, which is where I heard the Antipodes server.I'm curious about both of these servers. Have you heard them both? | |
| Lampi Transport vs Aurender/Lumin etc I'd like to add the Antipodes DS and Baetis to that list of comparators to the Lampi transport. | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? Steve, do think that a player with a USB output like the antipodes would sound better running into the DAC via an Off Ramp or run directly into the USB input of the DAC through a good cable?I'm very interested in the Antipodes and thought it sound... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house In response to Steve's comment about the Antipodes, I heard one a few weeks ago playing through a Meitner DAC and then through my Lampi L4/G4 at the dealer. Sounded great with both DACs, although I preferred it with the Lampi. But really only had ... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house THanks Cal and Glory re: Mac Mini vs Lamp Transport. Not to muddy the water but what about the CAPS server vs these options? | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Chatnoir, in response to your question about replacing the 5U4C with a Bendix, that should work. My Lamp had a 6x5 installed but also came with a 5U4C. I put a Bendix rectifier in my Lamp and it is wonderful. More palpable sound and images suspend... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Is the 5y3 interchangeable with the 6x5?I was able to put my Lampizator on a sistrum rack by supporting it on a sistrum disk on the strip between the tubes and back of unit. Don't know what the sistrum adds since I've only had the lamp on the sist... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Weatherb, if you are talking about the Lampizator, it does have an optional USB input. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house So far I have my Lamp 4 hooked up with a cheap 6 ft Blue Jeans digital cable that I got for under $20. Sounds great even with it. Any suggestions for RCA coax for $200 or less that would improve on the Blue Jeans cable. Also trying a few 6x5 recti... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I have Agear's old Dude running through a KR Audio Kronzilla SXI. Speakers are Duke LeJeune's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. I feel like I'm at a good point right now with the addition of the Lamp. Next step is to get a Mac Mini and a computer set up,... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I just received my Level 4 a few weeks ago. It really is exceptional. Musical is the best way to describe it. I have made a series changes to my system since the spring including a TRL Dude preamp and then getting everything on Sistrum stands. Eac... |
