The lampi fed with dsd is amazing but I am just not interested in most of the library. Waiting for the dealer to have the phantoms to compare with the dev 200 before I splash the cash.
I have not heard the L4, but I have a good friend who just bought one and swears that the key is finding just the right tube complement. He didn't care for it much at all with the stock Russian tubes, but when he put in some nice grey plate Siemens and a better NOS rectifier, he found true love.
As for the Big Six, the redbook playback is so good that I have not even bothered with DSD, though my unit has DSD capability. I share your view on the limitations of the DSD library, which is why satisfactory playback of standard recordings was essential for me.
