Review: The LampizatOr DSD Komputer: An Audio Expo in Your Living Room -- or Not?


CHICAGO — I thought I had nailed digital playback in my hi-fi system, but then it began happening too often.  Yet another dropped song.  Warbling passages on others.  An increasing awareness of unpleasant graininess and digital edge with some of my best recordings.  My Toshiba C-55 Satellite laptop was now too slow to accommodate some high res songs and its memory was maxing out.  And like that, my search for a new music server was on.

“Why don’t you let me build you a new one?” my software developer friend offered. 

One night, he brought by his custom programming server, downloaded a media player, transferred some song files, linked it up to my system and performed A/B comparisons with my Toshiba.  We were astounded.  It sounded identical, but was whippet quick – and without the dropouts.

Hi Alan,

Good for you!  Imagine how much better it would sound with an actual music server that was built for music playing instead of a laptop?  

Enjoy,



Juan
No doubt that's true, Zephyr.  However, as I think you'll agree, the Lampizator DSD Komputer is a very well made music server, optimized and tricked out to perform optimally.  Plugged into a good quality DAC and good to great sound system, the results are spectacular!
