My LDMS is a mini built into a maximus case together with a stage 2 reclocker, along with a linear power supply and upgraded wiring. Since I do no upsampling, this setup suits me perfectly. The LDMS replaces SOtM equipment including an sms 200 ultra, tx-usb ultra, and sclk-ocx 10. My dac is a Lampizator Golden Atlantic TRP with Tesla EL51 and Shuguang GZ480 tubes. I was very happy with the sound I was getting from the SOtM equipment, but the LDMS is better in every respect that I can think of. For me, the greatest improvement is that music now takes on impressive body, the kind of feeling that one gets at live concerts. Part of this is improved bass, but there is a lot more going on. I’m no longer ‘viewing’ a sound stage, but now I’m immersed in a music event that is huge — deep, wide, and high. Tonally as well, everything is perfect. I’m actually amazed that one can achieve such great sound without spending a fortune. Thank you, Lucas!

“Lucas visited me again yesterday in order to bring some final (technical) touches to his server. What Lucas D exactly did, he can explain much better than I can. Furthermore, we added so higher quality cables between the re-clocker and the server. To cut things short: the new server beats my former server in every regard: more command, better bass, lower noise floor, additional refinement, fluidity and un-mechanicalness and more transparency. To put it shortly: the music presentation has become much more real (or some would say: much more analogue-like or musical). The extreme built quality of my la-assoluta speakers and Tri-Point audio grounding results in an audio set up that is extremely revealing, that is every change for the better or worse can be identified quite easily. The server of Lucas is by far the best server I have ever heard. The differences for the better are far from subtle!. Guys, get this server for your files replay with your Lampizator DAC’s: you will not regret because it is damn good!!!

“I am delighted with the LDMS server provided by Lucas. I have recently retired and have always had an interest in good music systems but this was restricted to CD and LP. I knew I had to explore streaming but was struggling to get started and then I was introduced to Lucas who did all the thinking an explaining for me. He introduced his server into my system in February and I have not looked back. Allied with Roon and a NAS I now have access to a much bigger library and the sound quality is tremendous. I was always concerned it would be overly digital but nothing could be further from the truth and it now shows more space, depth and feel than the CD. It is world-class in my opinion. The other real advantage is that Lucas is always on hand to remotely fix any hiccups, these have been just a few and far between but when a connection to DAC has been lost, Lucas has fixed it in less than 5 minutes – the after-sales service has been fantastic. I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone wanting to go down the server route, either for the first time or with an upgrade to trial the LDMS."

“We are delighted to write this recommendation letter for our trading partner and server supplier at the same time, Mr Lucas Domansky.

“I was introduced to Lucas by a client of mine about 6 months ago. Having bought 3 MELCO N1ZS/2A units already I was a little sceptical to venture on a purchase of another media server, but my friend insisted that LDMS was really one of a kind. And right he was! I initially decided to set up LDMS with JRiver because it is the only commercial playback software that had support for ISO and WV files. LDMS delivered an exceptional sonic spectrum, crystal clear and tight, I dare say that with the right auxiliary gear (IDEON Reclocker Unit + Hi-performance USB cables) it gave such a boost to my system that the sound coming from my ProAc Response speakers seemed to originate from systems well into hi-end territory. I have now bought 3 LDMS units with 4 TB SSD drives to replace my MELCO units in all my systems and never looked back ever since. Let me also say that Lucas Domansky has also been extremely helpful throughout the set-up process as well as providing continuous after-sales support and giving numerous insights on how to improve the sound even further. For all those that are into the absolute sound quest, a stop at Lucas Audio Lab may prove to be a true revelation.”

Over the years I have worked my way through several high-end music streamers and OS/software combinations. Always the goal for me has been to achieve the most life-like, natural sound possible. The Lucas Audio Lab LDMS has delivered all of this for me and then some! I feel that what LAL have achieved here is astounding, the LDMS delivering music in a refined, natural manner that feels “analogue” and is utterly absorbing. The timbre of notes is so clear, dynamics are properly expressed and instruments placed in an expansive, open soundstage. The LDMS is also a joy to use and is physically silent, responsive, stable and flexible. Most mobile devices (or even laptops) can be used as remote controllers. I have also been able to share the LDMS into other rooms by using it’s multi-room zone capabilities. For example, I am able to upsample to DSD in the main music system whilst simultaneously playing different (or the same) tracks as PCM to the office and my second system. No problem! I must also mention the level of customer service from Lucas has been exemplary and some other hifi companies could learn a few things here ;-). Overall the LDMS has hugely advanced my enjoyment of music at home and I’ve personally heard nothing better than this. Full marks from me!

“I’ll start with the conclusion. Buy this server! I am a long time vinyl, cd transport user who wanted to increase my musical knowledge through exposure to streaming. I also wanted superior fidelity in playback. I learned about the server reading many glowing reviews on the WBF forum. I contacted Lucas, discussed my budget and went with the best bang for the buck approach. The server delivers musical bliss. Fidelity is outstanding, it is dead quiet, and operates without glitches. Lucas backs his product up with exceptional support. He will address any questions promptly and will provide any updates to tweak performance to the highest levels. This server is competitive with the very best and a great value.”

“I am extremely happy with the build quality, sound quality, and features of the LDMS server. Just as important, given the complexity of the implementation, Lucas has been extremely generous and responsive both pre-sale and post-sale. A huge upgrade from my previous server/streamer in all respects.”
