Nice one Mike! Any initial observations sound wise?
No initial thoughts yet, just letting it run in. But so far, I have tried it on the Avantgarde’s, Magico’s, VAC, Gryphon. I’ve also tried an assortment of USB cables, AES/EBU cables, direct Ethernet (Roon), etc.
hey mike, are you running this as a dac pre or listening to it through the arc pre in the photo?
In terms of transparency to the recording how truthful does it sound.
In same terms does the sound of each song become its own.
Does the pacific have it’s own sound ? Or closer to pure transparency ?

The Pacific is much more transparent than the GG or Big 7. The jump from GG to Pacific is far greater than say Big 7 to GG. This is more revolution of sound for Lampi than mere evolution.
I’m not sure what you mean “does each song become its own”?
The Pacific has its own sound. Rick and I listened for two hours yesterday and Rick said the Pacific makes everything sound “prettier”. He prefers more “accurate”, I prefer more “prettier”. YMMV.

Mike,
In your stable of DACs, which DAC belongs in the accurate camp (without sending clinical)?
Thanks!
Mike I have to say you are amazing. I can't wait to come to visit your place. You are getting or have just about all the goodies there are in this "hobby" of ours. Kudos to you for all the great stuff you are bringing on.
One of my favorites in life, another Mike, Michael Jordan, who once appeared on David Letterman and Letterman asked him, "so Mike, tell us the products you endorse; WAIT, it would probably be faster if you tell us the products you don't endorse".
Similarly, soon it will be a shorter list to just tell us what you don't have than what you do.
Once again, Kudos to offering such a wide variety.
