Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
He is incorrect that most of the GG magic has worked its way in to GA. That is true if you are listening to simple music. The dynamics, separation, scale, extension, and bass in the GG differentiates itself a lot the moment you put in orchestral. Also the tubes add much more drive and dynamics, so I disagree with his drive points. Tube rolling matches gain, and once the gain matching falls in place with the pre and power (something analog guys do on a regular basis), the drive, dynamics, jump goes up considerably.

Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
Big mistake not to get the DSD512 chipless module, given he is a DSD lover.
He thinks its about the 512 capability (which only has value in upsampling). However, its a more elaborate DSD implementations and beats the DSD256 engine at every DSD playback rate.NORMAN

Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
I'm a little confused about the DSD engines, of which there seem to be three. The default is chip based DSD256. The R2R PCM implementation would seem to be different, but it is hard to see how the resistor ladder would work with single-bit music data (DSD). Finally there is DSD512, which I agree sounds best, even with SACD quality DSD. I've heard it describe as chipless. Does this mean it is a hand-coded FPGA akin to the Ted Smith implementation in the PS Audio Directstream?

Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
Bay, there are just 2. There is a mini-chipless DSD256 engine dependent on the R2R pathway and an optional full blown independent "chipless" that does 512. The difference really is that the optional one is much bigger/more elaborately implemented.
No FPGA decoding, just elaborate filtering and as the website says, no additives, no preservatives!NORMAN

Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
Did I read correctly somewhere that there is actually a preamp section of sorts in the GA, if equipped with the volume control? As compared to the A+ w/ volume control just being a simpler attenuator vc??

Re: Lampizator Golden Atlantic DAC
While it is technically an active preamplifier, in so far as all passive parts occur before the tube amplification stage, the Golden Atlantic shares the same volume control as the regular Atlantic.
The Pacific however enjoys a new upgraded volume control solution.Purpose Built Listening Room: Intuitive Audio Design Gamma Summit Speakers, Gallo CLS-10 subwoofers (2), LampizatOr Pacific, LampizatOr Super Komputer, Musical Concepts Haffler DH-500 (Ultra Elite package), Theorem Acoustics Wave bridge power conditioner, Cables by Theorem Acoustics, Dynamic Deisgn & cables, Verastarr.
