I compared a Totaldac D1-Dual vs a Lampizator Big-7 at an audiophile's home 2 months ago.

Some limitations:
The Big-7 was not fully run-in at that time with <100 hrs of use.
The connection to preamp was not by balanced cable so Totaldac was at a disadvantage.
No CAS but only fed by a Marantz SA7 as cd transport.

My impression at that time was : they were on par.
Totaldac had bigger soundstage and dynamics.
Big-7 was more finesse and musical.

The problem is that both brands don't have many dealers so home trial may not be easy.
