If I recall correctly they are 6U5C. Russian Military tubes, decent sound and durable, but you'll see an uptick with my recommendations or whatever Rob brings you. I prefer American NOS.

Lastly as much as I want to roll. The way it is voiced is just other worldly as is.
For now it's headphones as my audio room is being renovated it's completely gutted
And will be about 9 feet high by 19 feet wide and about 35 feet deep
It will be a dedicated two channel as well as a separate 7.1 surround with a 65 plasma 3d magnolia series Panasonic
Anyway it's a couple off this out for now.
But when it's done my hope is the lampi will be there.
Two channel speakers are my IRS V.
THE rest is infinity something's from a few years ago with two sets of infinity dual 12 inch sub woofers. It's enough to shake your entire body

Latest word is that the Head DAC will be shipping in mid to late September. So you'll have to wait another month or two for comments from the early owners.
Does this mean that they includes the circuits of the corresponding "DAC Only" level ?
I wish, but... Unfortunately it is quite unlikely that this is the case because this will mean for exemple that you can have a level7 DAC + headphone Amp for 4800 Euros, which is less than the price of a DAC only Level 7 ! ??
So.... what is the difference between the standard HeadDAC and for exemple the version with Level 7 PCB ?

First post here - just joined when I found this thread
...
So I can't attest to the differences between the forthcoming HeadDAC/L7 PCB and Level 7 DAC, but I am a long-time owner of the L4 Lampi DAC, and currently have a Lampi L7 DSD DAC at home on demo.
One thing that strikes me is that the Amber DAC replaces the L3 entry-level unit but at lower cost. Could be that the Amber has a PCB circuit, whereas all other Lampis are point-to-point wired, to order, with many customisation options. Much more costly to produce overall. So basically Lucasz can produce the Ambers relatively quickly at much lower cost. On his site he reckons that the Amber gets very close to the L3 DAC in performance. Time and customer reviews will tell but the guy does seem to have really good ears.
So in summary I guess that the "PCB" bit is what makes the difference to the cost. Who knows what the difference is in terms of performance? What I can say that the L7 DAC, especially with DSD material is pretty decent
Lukasz Fikus at Lampizator clearly agrees. In this recent post on the Lampizator Facebook page, he is saying that the future of high end audio is DSD music downloads and devices.
From many, many experiments that we do now developing our DSD lineup, I can see that probably the future of High End is - decline of CD spinning transports and huge increase of computer based systems where EVERYTHING will be played as DSD via DSD DACs. Even PCM files, simple CD rips will be played via DSD. I really don’t know why, everything benefits from conversion to DSD. That's where I see high end 2 years from now.

YES this PCM to DSD on the fly conversion seems to be the next big move in digital playback !
And some new DAC like the New $10.000 ALLNIC tube D-5000 DAC, the Mytek Manhattan, the $20.000 NAGRA HD DAC, the PS Audio DirectStream DAC... offer Hardware PCM -> DSD conversion.
--> Will Lampizator also offer Hardware PCM -> DSD conversion ? --> Is this PCM->DSD conversion a serious permanent move or just a temporary marketing trend ??
