    LAMPIZATOR THREAD COMMENTS REVIEWS TUNING

    Hello, I was wondering what Lampizator would be using as R2R discrete DAC. If indeed it is the Soekris then it depends on the specific modules they are using. The OEM Version has much better specs than the DIY versions. The picture here is one DIY version. They charge 1.000,- € for the...

    LAMPIZATOR THREAD COMMENTS REVIEWS TUNING

    Hello, congrats to that machine. I´m still up to finally auditioning one but in the meantime I remain very happy with my Level 5. Trade in program? I haven´t heard about that yet. How does that work? Cheers Kai

    LAMPIZATOR THREAD COMMENTS REVIEWS TUNING

    Hello, I´ve had the Lampi 5 balanced with variable output for two months or so and I still am very impressed about the overall performance. Unfortunately with my Lamp 5 there is not much room for tube rolling. It is equipped withe two E 182CC tube and there is not much to swapp them with. One...

    I haven´t seen the R2R option yet but I will ask him about it. I just now found this in regard to the DAC chips: I´ll have to think about what model it could be. Cheers Kai

    LAMPIZATOR THREAD COMMENTS REVIEWS TUNING

    Hi folks, I got my Lampizator Level 5 Gen 4 DAC (two boxes) with DSD, Balanced Audio, Remote Controlled Preamp with Duelund caps two days ago and it is mindblowing. I bought the machine used so it is already burned in. Before that I´ve tried the PSA Directstream and kept my Wadia, I will...

    Ayon Audio skylla DAC

    Hi guys, I know this thread is quite old and sleepy, but I´m waiting for my Skylla II to arrive. I kind of started looking for Tube DACs after having been exposed to the AMR DP 777, which in the SE version really sounds nice. But there are continuing problems with those machines. As already...

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hi guys, strange things happen in regard to the SE. There isn´t hardly any hint on the AMR page about the SE and on the web too. I was expecting tons of exhilarating reviews by now, but nothing really happens any more.   Cheers Kai

    Funny... I wish I were in Syd.... which I think is the most beautiful city in the world. Even Melbourne would be fine with me. LOL.... I am located near MUNICH, Germany.   Cheers Kai

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hello, I´m still owing you a review I guess. Last weekend I finally got to audition the SE which was a factory SE and not an upgraded version. Unfortunately a comparison between the MK I and the SE was not possible since my second guy had gotten his upgrade set in the meantime and already...

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hello, I´ve startetd writing in this thread by proxy, so to say, for two friends of mine who own the 777. I´ve auditioned the 777 very intensely at my place. One of those friends had endless problems with his machine and so I wanted to help him by posting here. In the meantime (which was...

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hi, my one guy finally got his original SE, the upgraded SE had problems, but he hasn´t compared it yet with the "normal" 777. That will happen next week and I will audition the SE vs basic vs and-then-some the weekend of the 20th of June.   Cheers Kai

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hi guys, I´m still with you, but my one guy still hasn´t got his upgrade done. The other has not even started the process yet The dealer claims for the second time that the PCB was broken and that he is now waiting for the third one to arrive. One could say "s*** happens" or not believe this...

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    Hi Brian, thanks for the update on this matter. It is very disappointing that the packaging is not done really professionally. Hopefully evertyhing will work out fine. Germany still has not received any upgrade kits even though the German distributor keeps telling my guys that they are "on...

    Abbingdon Music Research DP-777 Thread

    No, I don´t . I´ve had one for testing for a week and came to the conclusion that in some regards it is "better" than my Wadia 861 SE (there it is again....the SE) but in others it isn´t. So I kept the Wadia. I´m doing this "by proxy" for two good friends of mine who each have a DP 777, since...
