Didn’t try a tx-USBulta with my Lampi, but tried before with my DS jr Dac and wasn’t impressed at all with the result...
The isolator from jcat was way better...but doesn’t add really anything with my modded Siebener now.
The only thing who can improve the usb output on my rig is to use a...
I already own the smarthub, which adds nicely to the SQ of my system. I will buy the wstreamer with John very soon...and I think also about the wcore, who would simplify considerably my system (I’m using Roon only).
Waversa offers very high quality products, not cheap, but you can’t be wrong...

...two Lampi admirers more :)
My two friends agree, the « silver gate » is at least two (high) steps higher than my directstream jr...it’s another dimension in fact. They told me I’m going to miss for a long time, because I won’t have anything to change in my system now...just hear music :p...

I'll certainly try at least the regular PX25 in the next weeks/months...same output level as the 300b ?
Don't know if it's the place here to ask, but do you let your Lampi "on" all day long, or do you turn it off for the night ie ?
Didn't ask also, as the sound is already marvelous without...
Detailed listening impressions will come later, but I can already tell this Dac is a long time keeper, and exactly what I was waiting for in terms of holographic soundstage...
My search is closed, now it’s time for music.
I don’t need dsd. It’s nice if I get it, because I can upsample from my server, but I Only use PCM with usb in and rca out. No volume control needed also. A simple, minimalist Dac would do the trick,if very high sound quality of course.
220v also, as I live in Europe/France.
