    Ok, I’ll try to conserve some crypto cash . . .

    I could “settle“ for this ...

    Heard that exact one in person.
    Compared it directly to my emm.

    I just heard a local Lampizator Pacific today as a consideration for the next digital source

    In a word “Horizon” . . . well within TLWs budget and Such Good Sound!

    In 2 words .... Dooo iiitttt!!!

    I’m seriously contemplating going up the Lampi food chain... GOD help me!

    The Pacific is very good. But a little weak in the bass. Ethereal but missing some density. This was one on one against Emm but not an exact comparison since I had to go through the Pacific’s volume unit.

    Audioquest wel cables against shunyata omegas.

    18.5k for the pacific… I’m considering as I don’t think I would lose money if I sold or flipped. Would be nice to have even as a side by side to the Emm.

    I would run out of rack space though.

    And it would force me to get a better streamer.

    Tube rolling should bolster the bass a bit. Maybe even bring it in, in spades.

    btw, Here's a Pacific at $17K from the NA distributor. Notice the "Make Offer" in the ad

    Good luck with your search!

    Would be very curious to hear the Lampizator versus an audionote level 5 or new element and the ANK Dac 5.1
