One really bad sign was that as I was enjoying the music last night I was getting really curious what a dac upgrade could possibly do…

Probably cheaper to get from lampi Poland. Theirs were 15000 eur

Oh right, I always forget that it actually comes out cheaper now, considering it’s almost parity

Crap I do like the gold finish.

Kinda would prefer a solid state dac just so I don’t have to worry about tubes.

I’d have to pay a small fortune in custome fees if I bought from lampi Poland, no?

Would be interesting to see what international shipping on that costs, the flight case is enormous and weighs almost 100lbs with the DAC in it.

Shouldn’t be any duties. There weren’t on my aic and it was declared full value

It’s hard to guess, I think it might be over the threshold, in which case it could be substantial.
But it could also be that audio stuff is exempt, in which case you’d be OK.
It’s all dependent on the trade agreements with the EU in this case.
Ideally you’d find a shipper and ask them.

Reach out to Robert at Lampi NA. A few months ago he quoted 16 and 18k for SE and balanced. You can definitely bargain.

They have a solid DHS account. Roughly $200 if they charge you. They ate my costs in the asking price.
