Further Information

this is hard. I love this damn thing, it really does live up to all the hype. if you've followed DACs over the years you know about Lukasz Fikus and his hand made lampizators.

this has held pride of place in my system for nearly 3 years now. I bought it from another Stereonetter Davey Willo in early 2022. his description does it best:

"Extra Info: This unit was purchased new by myself dealing directly with Lukasz Fikus whereupon we discussed options and upgrades and he even let me send him my SD Card player with it's i2s interface so that he could install and test a never before fitted on a Lampizator i2s input which has been a glorious combination. Other inputs are a true 75ohm SPDIF & and 24bit 384khz USB input which I have 'just' recently found sounded as good as the i2s which shocked me no end... 

We also discussed the fact that I didn't use a pre-amp at the time (I was using the volume controls on my Bakoon mono's)  and was informed that by adding a volume control that it would give me pre-amp like control, input switching and volume via remote which has been very cool indeed and saved me from the next purchase which would indeed of been a pre-amp as I was over controlling 2 separate volumes.

Please read information on their volume control interface (which I might add was a bloody expensive addition but worth it, especially as it saved the cost of a pre-amp) http://www.lampizator.eu/Fikus/VOLUME_CONTROL.html

We also discussed at the time capacitors and I upgraded to Duelunds which I have to say have been stunning, are they better than what would have been supplied standard? I have no idea, but based on everything one can read about them, I'm sure that the cost was worth it.

This unit, as can be seen in the photo's attached is in pristine condition, as is all documentation and packaging (double boxing etc) so this unit will arrive to you as if it had been shipped directly from Lampizator in Poland, which brings me to an amazing aspect of the Lampizator product line and their level of confidence in their own products and that is their Second Hand Service Program quoted below directly from their site"

so yeah you can ship it to poland and they'll spruce it up for you. or just buy it here and enjoy now.
