Phasured to Life NOS1

So I had the Lampizator Gen 4 L5 Vcaps with DSD.
So the game here is Gen 2/3/4 and late Gen 4. Have to have D caps and Lamp DSD and only Lamp DSD. So I am a loser as I never heard Lamp L5 because Ming Su the ex Distributer for Lamp installed the DSD. LOL. Marketing BS and many fall for it. Change a wire here there and move this around and bingo Gen 32.

Ok so this Lamp guy is the best digital I ever heard. Natural organic realistic and draws you into the music. If you own a Lamp you are sitting really good on the digital tight rope.

Something is missing still. What was it? Noise and distortion and color was all there but sounded great. Tubes are glorious !!! Big soundstage . Musically convincing.

What's this Phasure guy doing on the outer skirts of this digital playback world? Read up and the bugs in the software XXHighend was a no go for me. I like push and play!!!

So this chap in Australia is beating me to try Phasure. One year of his talk and I just passed him by. Then one day!! Yea one day I did it. Stupid computer dude me ordered the full Monty. Phasure NOS1 computer and XXHE. It all goes together you know.
So I am told that this PeterSt guy is kool and helps out plus 90 days to try out. I pull the $$$ trigger.

Everything comes in 4 days?? Yes it does.

So how does it do next to Lamp??

No color

No distortion

No noise!! I mean the noise floor is zero. Gee I like that. Lamp has a colored sound to it. Distortion and noise out of the A$$ it does.

So are there bugs? Yes but there is Peter right on it. No two day wait to hear from him. How about within 45 mins. he is there. I would say I was/am his biggest PITA buyer but then again he likes the reward of Phasure users being knocked out with his stuff.

So now I am in Unattended mode for the first time where SQ is now way above Lamp. This mode shuts down the computer to doing nothing. Now it is a music playback that is truly a must have for me.

I will keep this short and sweet. Phasure full Monty rocks out big time and has far exceeded my expectations.

If you are looking for that breakthrough digital playback machine then go out and lay down the coin and try out one of the best Dac software computer going. Phasure NOS1 is the real deal boys and girls!!

No one has had a Lamp as long as I have.!!!

L3/L4 and finally L5

Great Dac !! If you buy you will be blessed.

Now the Phasure is another beast. When you hear it and I mean the full Monty then you look back at the Lamp and you "get it"! Take away noise/distortion and color and you are left with music/sounds you never heard before in the digital domain.

You know when you clean up AC power how you get a better SQ ? Things open up and became more musically convincing. Well the Phasure sounds like the whole system is on a clean power supply where the Lamp comes out of the noise and distortion like unclean dirty power. Best I can describe it right now.

This Phasure guy is some kind of A$$ kicking digital playback machine. Try it for 90 days. I knew in 6 hours what was going on when I hooked up the guy to my system.

So all the tweaks and footers and games kind of get lost with this Phasure guy.

Phasure A

Lamp B-

Now that gap is big in audio.

Now we have L7 out with SET tubes. I bet it sounds great!!! But then again Phasure is in another league IMO.

King,

Have the Phasure 40 days. Takes 6 hours to know....

N,

Yes that may be true but we're talking about color/distortion and noise. When you hear the Phasure you "get it".

Mr. Phasure made me realize I know stool about audio playback machines. I am now in grade school knowing very little. Thought I knew a lot of stuff but turns out I am nothing but a clanging cymbal.

Ro,

First time I changed my Dac is almost 3 years.

Re read the front part of my thoughts on Phasure. Lamp Dac for a long time.

Nice system you have.

I really wish a lot more folks could hear this guy. All I can do is write about Mr. Phasure in a way that doesn't kill what's out there including the Lamp. This is the very best sound I have ever heard out of my system! Realistic sound that is captivating.

No need for HiRez DSD 128 and the rest. RB is enough for me with Mr. Phasure.

Shore,

Yes Destin is paradise for us. Folks pay big $$$ to vacation here.

I hear a more realistic sound and because of lack of CDN, (color/distortion/noise) each instrument had a massive space in the sound stage so I get to hear each note/pattern with no clutter than any other machine I've had.

If a track has a lot of instruments and complicated such as Charles Mingus type pieces the. It is all layed out so you are not robed of each performer. No music information is lost so it's like a wild ride where songs you know so well take on a whole new meaning.

Unless there is a well known digital CHEAP $$$ breakthrough down the road that kills all that we have today then Phasure is my end of story Dac.

How long does the "Phasure" computer last? 3 to 6 years? Yes maybe I will have it repaired or retire it and out goes more $$$for a new one but oh what glorious music I have going on so not to worry about all that right now.

I have to say my Bel Canto D amps are crazy good for a hot climate like FL. I think in the next 5 years these types of amps will pave the way for even better SQ than the big space heaters of class A amps. The way our "America" is going $10K amps used price are not going to be looked at by many Philes. This hobby of ours needs to get the prices down in order for it to continue to live. But then again I am done with it all LOL.

The crowning glory of my system is now the full Monty Phasure and I am glad I found it.
