Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?


Hi, I'm looking for a great DAC, and am auditioning a tube based Lampizator Level 3 (list $3,900) and it sounds terrific. I'm also thinking of going up to the Lamp level 4 (list $6,000) or the Weiss 202 ($5,400 or so on Audiogon). The more money is a big push but I'm completely digitally based (CD and Mac Mini) so over time it may be worth it. Any body hear the Weiss and the Lamp and have notes on what the differences are? Thanks.

See Dac shootout here:

At www.digitalaudioblog.com you will find writeups on both DACs.

Go also to the owners forum for feedback and comparisons:

The Lamp. level 4 is now being offered with a remote controlled 64 step ladder resistor volume control, as an affordable option.
In the next few days there will be a pro review done by stereomojo. Should be interesting.
Well so far he has stood behind his products admirably!

I can say that from first hand experience and from the few people who had any issues whatsoever.

Besides, many of us feel that no $5K DAC will be in the same league. I can say this as I spoke to at 5 other owners and gotten feedback from another 20 at least. This DAC is the business! Check the review!
