Lampizat0r Presents Third Generation Pacific DAC
16.01.2025 08:34 | ~1 minute read
Lampizat0r Pacific 3 is the third version of the famous High End digital-to-analog converter first released in 2016. The new DAC features a number of improvements and offers excellent sound quality.
According to the manufacturer, Lampizat0r Pacific 3 DAC has retained the proven topology based on DHT triodes (user choice includes PX4, 101D, 45, 245, 345, 300B, AD-1) and Engine11-P electronics. However, improvements have been made to the path - so now, according to the company, we have “perfection” in front of us.
Visually, Lampizat0r Pacific 3 DAC resembles Poseidon, Neptune and Horizon DACs, since the company is also engaged in a program of visual unification of its devices. The changes also affected the circuitry - now the single-ended-only version is no longer in the range, and there is also no modification without the remote control, volume control, and display. All devices offered for sale are only balanced and loaded with all functionality.
Also, gold plating finish is excluded from the range - only one color option “Duracell” is offered (black body and copper top plate).
