If you’re anything like me, your journey into audio upgrades probably began innocently enough with a simple amplifier swap or maybe a new DAC. But as we all know, once you start down that path, there’s always something else to chase after, something you didn’t even realize was missing until you heard it.

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!

Lucas Audio Labs introduces the Lucas Domansky Music Server (LDMS)
Lucas Domansky LDMS servers are Roon Cores built on enhanced Intel processors and backed by Windows platforms, reflecting over a decade of meticulous refinement in allowing Roon Software to run flawlessly and reliably.
LDMS’ servers offer an outstanding jump in quality over similar Roon device offerings thanks to their cost-no-object research, build quality, and technical implementation, making these products a must-have for any high-resolution audio system.
The LMDS server incorporates technologies such as RFI shielding, custom power supplies, and output circuitry designed to minimise noise alongside proprietary drivers and rendering software. Additionally, David Laboga’s high-quality cables are used in critical audio paths, enhancing the performance to an all-new level of sound fidelity.
