New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house

The chip in the 4,5 and 7 definitely do hi-rez as well as PCM so no limitations there. Only the 6 is limited to PCM due to the the vintage of the chip.

The main difference between the 4 and 5 is the fact the latter is dual mono. The 7 is a completely different beast, dual mono as well but employs direct heated triodes.

I'm the co-distributor and we just debuted the 7 for the first time at CES in Vegas. It's supremely musical to anything i've heard. The delicacy and soul of music must be heard to believed. Forthcoming pro reviews are already in the works.

Have any Lampi fans looked inside the box?? Scared me off! Looks like one step above a high school science project.

Twb2, Wikepedia is a dynamic and evolving source of information that endusers can edit. Care to review my post above (which I assume you missed) and provide a more nuanced definition of troll? Should it be more or less restrictive?

Lampizator, much like TRL, deliberately employs old school methods of fabrication in the name of SQ. Although it is easy to take a cursory look and throw stones, the grand irony is that it is harder and more time consuming to do it that way. You yourself transitioned from old school and boutique (Wavelength) to new Asian wave (Lumin) with circuit boards galore. Both approaches can work obviously. It would be interesting to compare Lampi (+ transport) to the Luminator.

Twb2, I saw that you are designated as a "commercial user." What does that mean and what if any professional audio affiliations do you have?

Wisnon, I see your posts on Lamp in various websites. Do you have a professional affiliation with Lukaz or just a satisfy customer?

Knghifi.

I am just an extremly happy customer and one of the first commercial ones.

I only met L in person in Dec last. Many of you guys met him before I did. He is more often in the US than in Switzerland.

Its funny though, other people ask me if I work for Goldmund, and yet other will have to ask if I work for Illusonic, Swisscables or Rowen.

I champion what I like, nothing more.

Has anyone compared the Lampizator Level 4 to the new Wyred4sound DSD SE DAC?
