| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Gopher,Ok, I get it - sounds like a lot of happy Lampizator customers out there. Lukasz is fortunate that sales of the Level 4 and positive reviews on these forums have helped folks become aware of his DACs. I have done about as much reading ab... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I suggest you listen for yourself and make up your own mind.Great advice....In USA, where? how? Is there an importer with a demo unit, or is it strictly buy to try? | |
