  • Page 5: Audio Volume Level

    - chip volume systems and preamps with opamps belong in home theatre (cheap one) and DEFINITELY not in high end. LampizatOr DAC should not be used with opamp based preamp, no matter how good. Because the op-amp feedback loops will remove the whole joy of music as delivered by the tubed DHT DAC.

  • Page 6: The Heat Issue

    Normally people switch off the dac only for the night. The lampizator DAC with tube rectifier has a slow start feature which brings the high voltage supply gradually up, at the rate of two- to five volts per second. The PSU reaches 250 V DC after 90 seconds.

  • Page 7: Cabling And Cable Handling

    LampizatOr- BEST300B DAC Manual Additionally all our DACs have special heater circuits that slow down the inrush current by the factor of 10 and protect the heaters (cathodes) from developing spots and blemishes that cause metal erosion and eventually death (of the tube). Our circuit goes way beyond the tube datasheet recommended protection.

    LampizatOr- BEST300B DAC Manual PLEASE VISIT OUR AFFILIATED SHOP FOR BEST TUBES: WWW.BEST300B.COM Rectifier Rolling Rectifiers are generally less rolled but many customers report that huge leaps in synergy can be achieved when, after choosing the optimal music tubes, we also choose optimal rectifier.

  • Page 9: Aging Problems

    LampizatOr- BEST300B DAC Manual To change music tubes you must switch off the amp. DAC can continue to work. The rectifier can be changed safely DURING LISTENING without even turning down the volume. Aging problems As already explained above, the DAC should age very very slowly.

    Usually Toslink ports are installed in cheap low end gear and the power supply to Toslink is completely neglected. Not in LampizatOr DAC. If you have Toslink in your DAC you can be sure it will sound good and not degrade the sound. Of course providing that the transmitter part of the link is at least semi decent.

    LampizatOr- BEST300B DAC Manual USB playback USB data requires installation of additional converter module to convert the “packet” data into a steady i2S stream. Our asynchronous converter has internal RAM and two own clocks and own power supply and own power transformer secondary winding.

    After plugging the DAC by the USB cable and turning it on, within 3 seconds the device should show up on the MAC. Note: the device will NOT be described as Lampizator DAC but as Amanero Combo module. To verify what is going on, please go to the “apple sign” in top left corner of the screen and choose PREFERENCES and then the loudspeaker icon - SOUND.
