As good as Ayre QB-9 DSD but with SPDIF input?
Do you have the Bada 1 or 2? If its the one, then definitely try the Lampi, as only the 2 would be comparable to an L4 in my book.

Having said that, taste does matter, so do have a listen to a few leading contenders and see what you think.

NKBG,No issues with L4 long term, plus its under 5 year warranty. 2 service guys in the US and return to Poland in extreme case takes 2 days via DHL.Trial? You have a 7 day return policy from the guys running LampizatorNorth America.You can also t...

Yes, the best thing about the Invicta is the built in SDXC TRANSPORT. This is the cleanest transport out there, really. I wish 1TB cards were out and were affordable.

Lampi DSD is outrageously good. When I see others talking about DSD on their Dac, I have to wonder what teir face would look like if they simply did a 5 minute demo with a Lampi Dac...Most just dont know what they are missing.
