It has been suggested that I review my Komputer. Here goes.
Leaving aside my source, my system is as follows: Golden Gate HeadDAC with VC, Tektron Parallel SE 300B power amp using EML tubes, FP6 hornsPL speakers, Thiel SS2 sub, Sennheiser HD800 cans, Gigawatt EVO P4 power conditioner, Verictum power cables and Albedo Metamorphosis USB, interconnects and speaker cables.
My previous source was an Aurender W20 and this was my comparator. My main reasons for changing were that the W20 didn't do DSD256 and didn't fully function with files bigger than 2Gb ( quite a few Mahler and Bruckner files exceeded 2 Gb, especially at DSD256).
I found my W20 to be wonderful. As stated above, my reasons for trying the Komputer were functional rather than disappointment with SQ. I have found my Komputer to be equally user-friendly (using Daphile) and at least as beautiful in SQ. And my Komputer will I think be more upgradeable in future. And I have a deep emotional attachment to Lampizator, and my UK distributor/friend Greg Drygala at gpoint audio.
So this isn't a review saying it knocked the socks off the W20, but I think it is at least as good at ( I believe) roughly half the price and with easier future upgradeability. But I don't regret at all my ownership of the W20, and Eric's online support was great.
Any comments/questions welcome.
