After long research and preparation Lampizator is now ready to launch the new digital section to complete the entry level AMBER dac. That makes is AMBER mk II as this machine now with revisited circuit represent entire new range of sophistication.
” The sound is very good – it is clearly better than old Amber. It matured a lot in the MK2 status. We use 100% in house solutions – no more Sabre, no more kit PCB” says Lukasz Fikus , company’s CEO and main brainchild behind the project.
Here are some new specification highlights below. They might look familiar as a list of solutions but the proof of pudding is in its taste so we are already waiting for our first batch to come .
AMBER mkII specification:
PCM to 384 kHz
DSD 64 and 128 seamlessly with PCM and auto detect
All PSU integrated to digital section
Premium caps on board
Classic Amber tube stage with improvements
Copper capacitors LAMPIZATOR brand as standard tube output
New toroidal transformer design especially for this AMBER II
New choice of tubes (JJ802 or equivalent)
The inputs will be: one USB Amanero, One SPDIF, no more inputs.
SE only for Amber
The same digital section will serve in Level 4 also for SE and Balanced.
The best news however is that the price remains unchanged. 1800 Euro net. Despite all improvements. That makes this machine the absolute Champion on the market below 1600 GBP . It was ruling this market already anyway, even if not many people had been aware of that yet. Therefore we do now our best to let this spread into public knowledge sector as this is no brainer choice of purchase for EVERYONE who wants to join Hi- End levels without spending a huge budget for . Stay in touch please as soon there will be more to come.
