The invisible DAC. It has no sonic signature. It does not get in the way, between you and the music. New Pacific-2, debut May 1st 2023 – took this good concept to a whole new level. We introduced the Engine Eleven-P chipset for conversion duties which created a whole new class od DAC. The musicality, timbre, space, soundstage, stereo effect, goosebumps, bass, meat, plankton – EVERYTHING we love about the audiophile hobby is there in spades.Our Lampizator R&D laboratory spent 15 years refining one product – with an obsession of good sound in mind – the DAC. We have arrived at this design as the culmination of that research efforts. In average we prototyped one new board for the DAC per week. Listening to it proves, that it was well worth it. If it could only look as good as it sounds!Pacific has all the elements that constitute an ultra audiophile product: zero feedback design, latest and best digital conversion technology, tube power supply, active tube anode loading, Directly Heated Triodes in single ended scheme, copper capacitors, and many other features designed with one thing in mind – pure music.In January 2025 we redesigned the Pacific mechanics: created new subframe floor with all CNC provisions for mounting, added new chassis similar to that of Poseidon, improved the transformers, the inputs and outputs, made new OLED display with new firmware, new user interface – instead of a rotary knob we have three buttons.The new Pacific 5 DAC is elegant, modern and yer retains all the DHT sound that we are famous for.Some facts about Pacific:DHT triodes with purest sound on Earth4 digital input types instead of 3: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Toslink, USB,MAIN SPECS:New !!! Engine 12 double 12 x 2No more 4 variants – ONE VARIANT HAS IT ALLFully Balanced & Single Ended RCA , WITH preamp/volumeNew OLED display, no more LCDTotal muting to keep switching noises downPlays every digital file known, no drivers needed for any computer operating systemVolume control models have one analog input for analog sources (active input with tubes and volume)CANCELLED: in Pacific 2 we cancelled the LAN input with possibility to install ROON BRIDGE.CANCELLED: gold plating in any shape or form.LampizatOr The Pacific – our new reference “flagship” model.The phenomenally musical result is a combination of eight factors that rarely meet in one product:DSD native filter technique, most advanced PCM processing knownUse of DHT tubes in one stage, zero feedback fashion, in purest Active Anode Load SET modeMUNDORF silver/gold capacitors selected after testing all the world leading capsHand made with silver wiring in teflon insulation, gold plated PCB tracesTube „diode and chokes” power supply with grossly oversized parametersUse of metal foil power supply capacitors instead of cheap electrolyticsUse of the best FPGA asynchronous and custom powered USB with two own clocks and customized firmwareUse of resistor ladder discrete volume controlThe tubes we use are 101D, 300B, 6A3, 245 or 45’s, 242 and PX4 (interchangeable). Yes – you CAN roll them all in every DAC, which is an ultra rare solution. We are proud in being the pioneer of this technology.We also used DHD – directly heated diodes as rectifiers (5U4G is the standard), but one can roll 274B, 5c3s, 5U4, 5R4, GZ34, 5Y3.Technical HighlightsUnique tube conversion output with Single Ended Triode, Directly Heated Triode, Active Dynamic Tube Anode Loading & Zero FeedbackNew digital “engine” board with a conversion process unique to Lampizator with DSD512 auto-sensingNew USB & LAN computer interface that is with preinstalled ROON bridgeNew transformers, power supplies, new heater power circuits and new chassisNew Taras 2017 VC-04 Volume Management System
