The target MSRP list price is also circa 1/3rd of the Horizon 360 price. The design criteria were among others:1. To maintain the chassis size no larger than that of Pacific or Horizon2. To offer single ended and balanced topology at the same time, without the need of choosing one3. To offer NO volume control, no display and no remote control - no need of choosing and also simpler circuit = better sound, lower cost, less complications4. To maintain as much as possible of the legendary Horizon sound quality. 5. To use easily available tubes, which is important in these VERY troubled times. This is important for us, manufacturers - today, and for you - users - tomorrow.6. To maintain the Lampizator house character.The resulting DAC is a masterpiece of good sound and yes the look is very spartan and industrial and boring. There are no controlls of any kind, everithing is automatic, it will read automatically in NATIVE FORM every existing file type up to DSD512xThis DAC absolutely MUST work with a preamp or with an integrated amp with a remote control. It can not be used straight to power amps with so called "digital volume control" for example in the ROON server. The DAC needs ANALOG volume control.

The soundstage is like no other. It stretches so wide and so deep that it exceeds the room boundaries and develops in our imagination beyond the walls and ceiling. Within this huge, immersive soundscape we can hear better than before where things are happening - we hear the individual musicians, their instrument, their reverb, their interplay with the recording venue and the other musicians. They seem to be playing more like a whole (band) even if we hear them more clearly also as individuals. The bass, which "technically" goes down to half hertz, has no bottom limitations and within the low octaves has much more colors, character, detail. Instead of a typical boom-boom, we hear the bass nuances - strings, bodies, reverbs, intonation. All this became our famous quality from the Horizon1 and here in the Genya we took it to new level.The sound character is very detailed, very resolute, but at the same time it is the opposite of the typical solid state DAC - dry, flat, harsh digital sound, tiring after 10 minutes and having nothing in common with real live music. The sound has what we like about good vinyl playback, but with MUCH more user friendly digital features like streaming and wide frequency response.We sincerely believe, that at this price point and beyond, there is simply nothing that touches the sound quality of the GENYA, and music is what it is all about. Thank you, Evgennyi.
