Blizz has never even heard a Lampi Dac and is pontificating. Does that strike you as reasonable. He also basically accuses Lukasz of being a scammer with the GG. Nuff said.
After what he has posted? If I were Lukasz, I would steer clear of any involvement with him.
No one is being "helpful" and trying to educate when they keep repeating the same thing over and over, as if it propaganda.
No one here denied that a clock mod may help, but when told that its not a guarantee in this setup, he flies off the handle. $500 just for the part, means a modded will likely cost $1,500 with shipment. That money for a tweak could likely be better spent of software optimization, or a pair of Elrogs or Anniversary globes.
If it is such a miracle tweak, I imagine it makes the $1,100 Chinese Dac he keeps talking about better than the GG!! LoL
SMDH.
I don't recall accusing Lukasz of being a scammer. Not sure why your putting words in my mouth. Everything I said is on record.
Why would Lukasz need to sign off on anything? It's the people who own the DAC's choice to have them modded or not. Same as with the DAC's he started out in the business modding.
Blizzard, you really need to tone down a little bit. You do sometimes sound a bit aggressive. Trying to push your ideas down other people's throat.
Some people, including me, appreciate your suggestions. But some of your claims (change a better USB board has much greater sound effect than a new R2R board) do not have actual experience to back you up. I think it is better if you can work with fellow Lampizator DAC owner to do your mod and post the experience. It would be more constructive and convincing.

I'm basing this on experience with the Amanero, and clock mods. But yes your right, I haven't compared the mod with the R2R DAC on the GG. But there is something anyone can try without any mods. Download the free HQplayer trial and convert their PCM to DSD 256 on the fly, and compare with the R2R playing the same PCM files. This alone will probably outperform the R2R DAC.
Blizzard, you have stated your peace and now it is time to move on. Maybe you should listen to a Lampi before you further comment. And if you feel the need to continue to attempt to educate all of us on the topic of DAC design, start a new thread. This thread is for Lampi owners and those who are interested in listening to LF's design. It is really an insult to someone like LF for you to act like your mods are what's needed to bring his build to the next level. And if I have misunderstood you, fine. But please stop.
I actually haven't been even commenting on Lukasz's design. It's actually been mostly on the design of the Amanero. It's not Lukasz's design. It's designed and built in Italy by someone else. The other recommendation I had was for 3rd party software specifically designed to get the best out of chipless DSD DAC's.
It's not off topic because the Golden Gate uses the Amanero to extract the PCM and DSD data from the USB feed, clock it, and send it off to the DSD low pass filter, and PCM chip. It's a very critical part of the operation with this DAC, for those who use this input option.
Your right ignorance is bliss. Bury your head in the sand and enjoy your jitter
. Anyone open minded can PM me.This audio preacher is beyond help. We should completely ignore him because otherwise he will not stop from coming back to this thread while pushing his opinions, insulting members and absolutely wanting (or does he actually need it?) to have his last word.

I'll be speaking with Lukasz in the next couple of days about a GG Head Dac build and will offer to act as a guinea pig for the Acko usb card if he is game.
Am surprised nobody seems to have mentioned that the R2R appears to have been resurrected from Big 6, aka Fikus dac, his erstwhile personal favourite model.
