I am using the Ayre Codex as a stand-alone dac in my 2 channel system right now, and it sounds great. I am now interested in the Lampizator Amber II dac and wondering how both dacs compare in terms of sound quality. Has anyone ever heard of both dacs? Thanks.
Looks like the Lampizator Amber II ($2,000) replaces the Level 3 ($3500) and 4 ($4850) units. That's impressive! I am surprised that there are no other owners out there commenting on this dac.
I also own the Amber II. It is tube rectified. I am currently having the super-clocks installed. Hope to have it back this week. This is a very nice DAC, no complaints. I have own the Exogal Comet, PWDII, Auralic Vega and the Amber is my favorite. Much more musical. I also am going to try the SR Blue fuse once I do some listening for a few weeks.
i have an Amber II and the considerably more expensive Aesthetix Pandora Sig with a brace of very nice tubes....the Lampi gets very close and like the Pandora errs on the side of musicality.. An incredible value....no doubt...
Resurrecting an old thread instead of starting a new one..
The Lampizator Amber 2 was recently updated to a 2019 spec, including the digital engine that trickled down from the upmarket Pacific DAC. It now has full PCM support, as well as up to DSD512. Supposedly it’s a whole different animal from the original Amber 2.
