Any one have information on this new offering from Lampizator? I am VERY interested in the DSD only option.

Am I right to assume that its DSD engine is the same design as the original, the differences being PCB rather than point to point, and less exotic tubes?

If so, sounds like a killer bargain!!!!

Based on the hand-built nature of their products, I would guess that a 115V Amber should not be a problem!

Suggest that you shoot the U.S. Lampi guys an email: LampizatOr North America <lampizatorna@gmail.com>

I ordered a Big7 this weekend and my email communications with Rob have been prompt and superb!

Right. The Lampizator North America folks say there are no plans at this time to bring the Amber model into the U.S. and Canada for sale. But it could happen one day, down the road.

Hmmmm...

but there is someone in North America with one, apparently..

I assume there must be some low noise 'audiophile friendly' stepup transformer that one could conceivably use.. hmmm

I have a family friend in Germany... might have to have her order an Amber and let me know how it sounds.. maybe she even could ship it to me so I can have a listen

That could work. The Lampizator North America folks say they will make a decision soon on whether or not to bring the Amber DAC to North America:

"The Amber won't be shown as we have not brought that to the North American market as of yet... We will likely arrive on a decision as to the amber soon."

Got my Amber order in last week. Hope to see it by year's end.

Will gladly report once it's situated and settled in the system.
