Knghifi, the reality is that almost everything at CES or any show is new. That is why at Friday through Sunday shows, you really should just show up on Sunday.If this is reality and believe in break in period, why bother showcasing your system if ...

Abruce, yes it was because the Dude preamp needed breakin.Speaker is new, Dude is new ... that's what I called excellent show preparation. So what was broken in, component rack? LOL!

New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house
From Lampizator Transport web page:"MY LampizatOr Transport plays from own FIFO RAM Buffer."This is the buffer I'm asking? Does it buffer X amount or number of tracks before play starts.Without going into too much detail, I was just using JRiver, ... 
Smooth and dark cables?

What would they say? ""Well customers.. Better to wait as we might possibley find some new idea to use in a few years and then you'll be SORRY you did not wait. In fact NEVER buy our products in case we make additional changes.. never know when yo...

Berony, does the Lamp Transport cache/buffer data before play? A track? whole CD?Lukasz knows his stuff. In his Lamp Transport page, he clearly explains why computer audio is superior to cd player and without saying, IF executed correctly.
