The journey is to take out my Amanero USB module from the DAC, feed IIS directly. (Ironically the Amanero is now in this unit).

Lampizator are now using a new USB to i2S board, making its first appearance in the 10th Anniversary limited line of products.

It's sourced from JLSounds and probably has custom firmware too, since it appears as "Lampizator" under Linux (it works flawlessly under Linux at all rates!).

This board has opto-isolators and embedded clocks, better than the ones used on the super-clocked Amanero board and does PCM768 and DSD 512.

I have installed it on my Amber 3, replacing the super-clocked Amanero board and it does indeed sound fabulous, with a realism -especially apparent on vocals- smoothness (less sibilance) and overall naturalness, which elevate the Lampi above and beyond the (obvious to me now...) constraints imposed by the Amanero board.
