Experiences w/ Lampizator level 2?


I've been reading up on Lampy level 4 reviews, and I must say, I'm smitten. With practically every review raving about how it "makes you want to stop trying to evaluate the sound and just listen to the music", it seems exactly what I want, save for the price.

Thus, I'll probably have to settle for a Lampy Level 2. Does it share that same quality of emotional involvement that just makes you want to listen and not even think of analyzing it? I don't care about soundstage, dynamics, etc; just that one quality.

I'm also pretty interested in how it compares in this one characteristic with other DAC's in the $2k and under range, if possible. Thanks! :)
