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!

I tried the lampi direct to the Tube amp and with Tube PRe-amp and the same with MSB. Both are top DAC but I still give it to the MSB in the end. It comes down to personal taste. To me the MSB was a clear winner. I am still curious about the Lampi 7

That's fair. MSB is obviously a stellar company. What did the 4 give up to the Analog dac? The 7 is a beast....

After four fabulous years, generation 4 finally came to a close being replaced by gen 5.

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.

Yes, DSD with the Lampizator is very good.
