Lampizator DSD came out 2.5 years ago and offered DSD128 from inception! People seem to be trying to hold them to a different standard than other makes out there, most of which came out with DSD AFTER Lampi and only had DSD64 initially.
Again, I say that people also confuse OPTIONs with upgrades. A balanced L7 is an option, not an upgrade and is meant for those who want in, but run fully balanced systems. A Lite 7 is again not an upgrade, but a cheaper entry point, that can be upgraded to a full B7 as budget permits. Finally, the Golden Gate was made after people pushed lukasz for an all out assault using the most expensive "Bugatti" parts. I have a Big7 and am satisfied, but can see someone else with say Kondo amps and $100K+ speakers wanting a GG to complement their system in terms of looks (Copper casing) and to ease their mind that the parts checklist is the finest imaginable. What difference it makes, I cant really say, but at this level diminishing returns hit hard. However, if I had a Kondo/Vox Olympian setup, I would go for the GG too, as it would seem "right".
Ken, go give the Big7 an honest listen and you will understand why people who have are so passionate about it. Ignore all the doubters who are scared that what we say is in fact true!
