The device has been burned in for 4 days. Connected CD transport was Pioneer PD9700 connected via digital cable made by a team of Lampizator. Headphones while testing is Beyerdynamic T70 and DT150.
Here we have a hybrid Dac with headphone amplifier. It is becoming more and more popular configuration. My observations, however, focused mainly on the section of the amplifier. Because I have a DAC Lampizator Level 4 to the description of amplifier sound takes into account the nature of the omission of Dac. A feature that attracts attention from the very beginning is a very high resolution. So far, I knew the only resolution of solid state devices and that only those with absolutely top shelf. Dynamics od Lampizator Head Dac, which is a component of the resolution is very high. And although we have to deal with the device is a tube headphone is completely free from noise and hum (I say this based on a very sensitive Beyerdynamiców T70 250 ohm version, which disclosed in this aspect is no longer one amplifier) This readability and "purity" of the output to give a very deep black background. And this results in a great location and articulation of acoustic phenomena in the recordings.
The nature of the recordings presented in a neutral way. But it must be understood in a good sense. The sound has its own scale, momentum, and the edges of the band are beautifully "learned". While listening I did not have the impression that some bandwidth ranges are favored. Control the bass is very good. May the bass texture and very good speed. The highest tones perfectly rise to the top. The voices are presented smoothly. The unit shows very well all the frog used on vocal tracks during the implementation of the recordings. voiced by the top there is a sense of spilling cymbals. The highest tones go the distance, do not have an ounce of roughness and dullness.
Space is extensive. Although with a slight emphasis on width and distance.
Overall the sound is very large, clear, but both the micro and macro-dynamics are still well visualized. The drama tracks is strongly felt. The appearance of individual instrumental parts has its stages and they are clearly and skillfully selected.
Lampizator D-AMP plays very well. It is a vacuum tube equipment but no excessive sweetening diverting bandwidth, dynamics, bold bass. As you know, I appreciated my Espressivo and still I do this because at this price is a brilliant device, outstanding. However, the direct configuration of Lampizator seen that the device of Henry Felix has a weaker control of low bandwidth, less differentiation, clearly weaker bass and dynamics of the whole band. Also, the treble is strongly rounded. Espressivo listened to with great satisfaction, has many very good music. However, in a confrontation with headphone amplifiers very high-end feel, however, some shortcomings. Similar feelings about Espressivo I had while listening to the amplifier Black Pearl on battery power. Pearl is an outstanding amp but still solid state. It has slightly less filling on the lower midrange and bass. Presentation of vocals is also different than the lampi. D-AMP from Lampizator Team combines outstanding features transistors with all the goodness of lamps. It is a device, however, free from that found in the weaker lamps downturn and lack of selectivity. It is also the only if not one of the very few DACów the degree of tube and tube headphone amplifiers packaged in a robust housing. This powerful device. Uncompromising. With a good power, a rich arsenal of merger and organic sound. By way of conclusion I can write that this is the best headphone amp I've ever heard. Although I do not carry Leben or Bryston to make a descriptive comparison, is based on listening to a rather well-remembered, it definitely would choose for themselves Lampizator. Here, the sound is scale. Now it remains to wait for the completion of the housing, which I hope will soon follow.
