New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house


Wonder if any other new owners of this DAC are out there as I find it to be the finest digital playback I have heard to date. This is the first digital front end piece of gear I have owned that has transformed my music.

Ya, other digital gear does this or that better, but this Lampy breaks through to a new level of musical enjoyment. Clear view into the music helping the speakers just disappear. Only 24 hours of break in and the music flows so sweet, intimate and seemingly without boundaries.

Looking under the hood I see an impressive power supply with films caps and several high quality chokes. Point to point silver wired except for the digital and USB boards. This is a three tube player that is tube rectified. One has the option for SS rectification if desired.

Ya, I love this Lampy!

No, it wont play DSD. It is based on the SqueezeBox receiver and is limited to 24/88.

People who have one say they dont care about HiRez anymore as its sounds so good on RBCD.
Anybody here running the Level 5? If you have compared it to Level 4, in what ways does the 5 improve on the 4? Thanks.
I'm wondering...do the folks who purchased generation 1 thru 4 get free upgrades? Sadly they must realize how inferior their older generation Lampizators are compared to the current generation. Design improvements are good things, but this DAC seems to be a work in progress. I'm waiting for level 26/version 18 and then I'll buy one!
Rockyboy, then you will never buy anything cutting edge digital from any maker.

I guess any high end gear for that matter. Not a bad idea!
