Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
If cost was no object, I would be getting a Lampy Big7 with no USB converter as, I hear the straight USB implementation is that good. The DHT tube design is da bomb and this is coming from my pal who owns a Hugo, Direct Stream, MSB Platinum stack ...

DAC woes - what to do

Cstooner, it seems you need to hear the Lampi L7 (using 45 DHT power amp tubes). Feedback so far is that its a barn burner. Check out the thread at CA.It doesn't even need more than 40 hours/3 days of burn in to announce its intention to the world...

Chord Hugo ?
