Considering Bricasti and Lampizator
Two great DACS and two totally different DACS. Two totally different companies and totally different approaches that both sound fantastic! One is SS and one is Tubes. One is USA made in the biotech/high Tech rich area of Massachusetts and the othe... 
Whats the best HDMI cable?
I was on a HDMI Mission and tried many of the usual names out there: AudioQuest Diamond, Coffee, Carbon, Wireworld Platinum, Silver, a couple of the better RidgeStreets, A great DARWIN USB that they stopped making that I loved that was better them... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
As I'm sure most of you know this but just in case for those that may not know or are new to ps audio direct stream downloads you should create a new empty folder on your computer / desktop and then save the update and put it in this folder. Then ... 
Lampizator question
Wanted to reply to this above statement made by Mrmb but couldn't. I mean no disrespect just too hard to follow and it made my brain ache... On another note I did read up a bit on the Lampi US Distributor and can say they seem like a real first cl... 
Lampizator question
Fred there was no personal assault on you!! Ya you are kind of collateral damage here I guess but it wasn't pointed at you at all. I was thinking of you as not in this being the dealer but your the US Distributor so I guess although it wasn't mean... 
Lampizator question
Fred I had a response I sent a while ago and it was before you write this... It still hung up by the mods before your response. I will let you read that first... 
Lampizator question
Wisnon... You are so wrongÂ… I said it was my fault I didn't get the DAC. That dealer is a great dealer I have no problem with them or any dealer. God knows how hard business has been and is on them. I support the dealer. He is a US dealer and has ...

Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?
MountainsongIf you can swing it I would recommend you upgrade your dac to the DS. You will love it and IMO it will not be a lateral move by any stretch. I think the DS is a great DAC and much much better than the DACs you named above. Compared to ...

Lampizator question
Ricred1 I sent him that email before I even got my Bricasti. I was actually interested in the Big7 before the Bricasti as I noted in my statement above that my criticism is of the new products and their very short life cycle because they drop so m... 
Bricasti M1 USB
One of the cool things about the Bricasti M1 DAC is it has a status button that shows cool stuff like polarity, volume per channel, signal rate in then the signal rate out 352 / 384 or DSD/2 / Software version and great internal temp reading that ... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
I felt the exact same as you. As I wrote about it earlier and was kind of the reason I started this thread. There is nothing subtle or even remotely close about these two DACS. It took a 100 hours or so for the M1 to start changing / improving and...
