Angeboten wird „Pacific Balanced with dual Engine 12 DAC (E12x2)“ von Lampizator als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „D/A Wandler“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 283945590 endet am 03.07.2026 um 14:25 Uhr.
Against the recent used comps I’d call €16,580 an ambitious ask: it sits well above the €15,512 75th percentile and far beyond the €8,776 median, so this is a premium listing rather than a bargain. It may still be justified if the unit is exceptionally complete, cosmetically excellent, and from a buyer with a strong preference for this tier of DAC, but price-wise it’s asking top money.
The upside here is that this is a highly regarded, no-compromise DAC with serious performance potential: big, immersive soundstage, very low-level detail, and a natural, spacious presentation are the usual reasons enthusiasts chase these. If the supply is clean, original, and includes the right accessories, that adds real value. I’d treat it as a buy only if you specifically want this platform and the seller can document condition and provenance well.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
LampizatOr emerged from the DIY audio scene in Poland, founded by Łukasz Fikus in July 2010. Born in Warsaw in 1965, Fikus began as a self-taught enthusiast in the 1980s, earning the nickname "Lampizator"—a playful fusion of the Polish word "lampa" for vacuum tube and The Terminator—through his innovative designs shared in online communities. By 2010, he formalized the operation with a dedicated workshop in Warsaw, now employing 12 staff and numerous subcontractors, marking a shift from hobbyist roots to a professional enterprise with global reach.
The brand specializes in handmade, custom vacuum tube digital-to-analog converters (DACs), offered in tiers from Level 4 to 7 with options like volume controls, DSD modules, balanced outputs, and upgraded components. While DACs form the core—over 600 units sold worldwide—LampizatOr has expanded into niche products such as the VP4 Silver phonostage, emphasizing tube-based warmth and personalization over mass production.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, LampizatOr commands a boutique reputation for exceptional sound quality and craftsmanship, earning near-universal praise from reviewers and enthusiasts. Its privately owned structure avoids investor influence, fueling steady innovation and worldwide distribution, though isolated customer service critiques occasionally surface in forums. For discerning buyers seeking tube-infused digital refinement, it stands as a Polish hi-fi standout.
