| Lampizator question Recall the OP question.Obviously the best answer would be to explain (the overwhelming reason) why the relatively large number and it's clear it's because of upgrades.It is also clear like with all Dacs that some move to other brands and some chan... | |
| Lampizator question Such as?For the price, it will be hard to.I know one Trinty owner who also got a Lampi afterwards, for example. (The TOP Lampi)I also know another who owns a Big7, Hugo, MSB stack and Direct stream...and guess what? He is getting another Big7 (the... | |

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Many good Dacs out there and I tend to prefer the boutique guys.The Big 7 is the best of Lampi that I have heard, but I mostly heard the 3 and 4. The 5 and 6 I have only heard briefly. His PS design is superb. Lampi DSD is also unique on the marke... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC No Jon,It has to be on the FPGA and that seems to be maxxed out.To use a bigger xylinx chip would require a complete redesign of most everything. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC It does not do DSD (a must for me) and as I own a Lampi Big7, I assure you there is no Dac out there that can give me any regrets and I have heard plenty, like the Trinity, EMM Labs, Rowland, CH, TotalDac, Devialet, Metrum, dCS, Zanden, Audio Note... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Jon, i know, just teasing.I am in the loop for the DS, as AL and Mike keep me up to date and I also read TedB.Apart from the reboot, you have to wait 10-30 minutes for the Dac to degauss and sound good again (transformer outputs). I think they can... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC It would help with any USB terminal of any Dac. There is a sizable thread about it at ComputerAudiophile forum. Do a search. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC FSmith,I hear yah.If you do the Aries, get the more expensive one with the double clocks (one dedicated to the USB) and the LPSU. Also, get the soon to be released Regen USB unit from Uptone Audio. It can be found via the Computeraudiophile progra... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC Jon,You mean firmware rolling as opposed to tube rolling?On my Big7, I do similar to change the presentation, but I was told that with the DS, you should wait 10 mins after rolling so that the system degauses the output transformers (during playba... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Pity,As I said the Transport is half the equation here and the DS is compatible with the SS Rendu via i2s HDMI cable.This is a superb link as it has a ethernet to i2S conversion board (with clean/isolated power distribution network) inside it that... | |

| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Just spent the day with a pre-production Dartzeel LHC-208 Integrated amp/ethernet streamer/Dac. It is da bomb. 200wpc and costs circa $13K.Will be ready in about a month or 2. only downside is that its already backordered. |
