Mr. Lapmpizator is a character. From a technician's standpoint, he should get credit for tearing apart the CEC transport and sorting out the SPDIF trace. Loved the disguised motor, where the costume cost more than the crappy chinese motor (new $4, less in bulk quantities). Some real parallels to the audio industry as a whole.

More interestingly, Mr. Lampizator is using a $200 Behringer src2496 (with his modifications) as his top DAC with the CEC:

It looks like Lampizator's Behringer used the same dac chip (ak4393) as the Behringer DEQ2496 I tried last year to explore room correction and also tried as a DAC for "fun"; despite lots of features, I dumped the Behringer due to sound quality. I seem to remember that Romy tried the DEQ2496 with similar results.

I am baffled how Mr. Lampizator gets even a decent sound out of his Behringer and am (almost) tempted to replicate his effort to modify that box...
