Hey guys. With the help of Sam from Laufer Tecnik I got he drivers up and running for the Lampizator Big 7 DAC. Had a brief issue with one of the sets of tubes crackling quite a bit, but Fred from Lampy USA had generously sent several sets of tube...

So I have a Lampy Big 7 (most recent generation) warming up as we speak. Looking forward to hearing it. And a visit with a Pacific incoming. The new Big 7 is built nothing like the original versions, it’s in a different reality to be honest. The o...

I read a relatively recent article by the gentlemen who created the usb audio stream transfer standard (I don’t know the technical jargon, I apologize) that compared usb to Ethernet. It lauded the potential advantages of Ethernet but he was of the...

Gracias Nadimjaber. Mi espanol es muy malo, pero yo tengo un EMC1UP especial mk 3 por dos anos en 2016/2017. Me gusto mucho pero no necesito con mi musica computadora. Y el Yggdrasil es una DAC muy bueno por la moneda, pero no es mejor de otras da...

DDriveman - thank you. I don’t blame anyone for not searching through the previous 84 pages since it’s a daunting task, but I owned and sold the DAVE, auditioned the Allnic D5000, and have had the Zanden DAC and phono stage in my room (owned and s...

Steve and George (nice to discuss something of audiophile significance besides R2R with you finally), the gain/impedance matching between preamp and amps is a HUGE point and can’t be over stated. Personally, I have tried running many of the DAC’s ...
