Yes, I will be transcoding pcm to DSD on the fly. That's why I'm looking at the top spec and hopefully a little future proof. At the moment I can't even get *2 And like I said my laptop keeps crashing and is slow to commands I haven't attempted bug head yet but hopefully will with a decent laptop. The ones I've looked seem more for gaming and that's something I won't be using it for at all. Thanks for responses

Hi guys, I'm after a new laptop to play dsd on my Lampizator. The one I have now keeps crashing and only manages standard dsd. I know my requirements. i7 processor 16g ram. I'm not wanting to pay the earth. Just looking for reliability and good build quality. I use Jriver and find it very user friendly. All comments greatly received Thanks

Thanks, I'll look into it. Cheers

Yes I'm going to keep it. I live in England though not America. But it's something to consider for the future. How much is the upgrade to 256? ?

Cool! My Lampizator only plays 128 DSD but sounds awesome

Do you have a Lampizator?

Agreed, the Big 7 is an awesome Dac but what about the Lite 7 also? The Golden Gate is the top of the tree and the price isn't bad considering all the exotic parts that it has.

Yes, of course. What did you think to the review?

What tubes to go with it? Some 45's or 101d's

Wow, your sure to find a good combination there mate. Enjoy!!!

Great stuff!!!! I have 16 lol Need to get moving a bit.

Winson, I'd love the EML 45 mesh my friend has just bought some. How do you find the sound? I've read a couple of reviews and there supposed to be magical

I have the 101d find them very good also the Gold Lion 300B there a bit more relaxed. Also some Marconi 2A3's that need breaking in The joys of tube rolling
