What I think A.Bill wants to know (so do I) is when you upsample PCM to DSD and play it on Lampi, how does it compare with The same PCM song on Trinity?
Trinity sounds better.

I found this thread to be informative. My takeaway is that the U.S. distributor acted in bad faith: he told a prospective buyer ex post that a non-working trial unit could not be returned because the time the unit was not working counted toward the trial period. He did not communicate this to the buyer until the trial period had already lapsed. He only resolved the problem when the buyer went "public" on this forum. Buyer was roundly criticized for doing this, but didn't have any other recourse short of begging or hiring a lawyer. Lampizator may be run by a great guy, and his DACs may be the best money can buy, but he is not being well-served by the U.S. distributor's approach to sales and customer service, at least in this case.
Trinity sounds better.
Adam....In your option, How close, sonically, in percentage terms, would you attribute the same track up sampled to DSD on the Lampizator when compared against the origional PCM with Trinity? I think folks are attempting to get their heads around whether they could Live on the difference, and order a DSD only machine from Lucas.
Caelin, if it's a balanced GG, how does it have RCA outputs?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you get to know it.
Hi MadFloyd,
I hope your digital journey has taken more positive turns. Care to give us an update? Thanks
Cool! I imagine Kronos is outstanding then?

Yes. Best source that I've ever personally experienced, certainly the best in my home.
I doubt that anywhere near the price point of the Berkeley Reference DAC there will be, within 7 months, a new DAC that is better than that -- unless it comes from Berkeley (especially for the all important PCM, where all the music is). Hearing what the Alpha DAC 2 does in my system, and having informed myself about the technology, I have faith in that company's output. In fact, if I had the money and no chance to hear the Reference DAC before purchase (I do though), I would still buy it. And yes, if I'd have to wait 7 months, I would do that too.
Not much to report. I'm still using the Playback Designs MPD-5 fed by a CAPS 3.
All my serious listening these days is vinyl.
