As a reminder, the brand new Lampizator Pacific DAC will be launching at Suncoast Audio on Saturday October 14th from 12pm - 4pm. Lukasz will be on hand for Q&A and to discuss all matters related to his new masterpiece.

Looks a bit like Dalby stuff ... which not a bad thing. I've heard it weights 30kg ?

Fingerprints will love it :)
 
Looking good!

I just think the bolts holding the top cover could maybe have been solved in a better way? To not have any I mean... :)
 
+1 on the bolts. I've told that to Łukasz yesterday.

It can be done and it is not a rocket science - just examine how dCS gear is put together:

for the price asked, I think it should be possible to make it look premium all the way... I think most gear actually does not have visible bolts, costing much less.
 
Ask and you shall receive !

I've just spoken to Łukasz on the phone and he told me that the bolts you see are just on this preproduction unit used for the pics. The production units will have all the bolts concealed, like on the dCS DAC.
 
Chrome finish would make it a bit Burmester like looking ... but I don't hold my breath. GG was only available with copper chassis.

BTW - the golden color you see is not gold plating - this is the natural color of polished brass.

It really looks nice ,I must admit. But a lot of people I am talking too are actually missing LampizatOr iconic EYE and this rough, a bit industrial look. On the other hand this new design doesn't match any other product in the portfolio , so who knows? Maybe Lukasz will consider a " classic " chassis option available for hard core die hard fans of LampizatOr brand :)
 
I listened to the Pacific DAC twice at RMAF. Despite the speakers limiting the sound quality somewhat, I could still hear the excellence of this DAC. It delivered detail and nuance, an expansive soundstage with realistic image size and precise placement, natural midrange warmth and body without tube coloration, and excellent dynamics from black backgrounds. I think Lampizator has a real winner with the Pacific DAC.

This reads like something you copied and pasted from the latest rag review.

I was going to bite my tongue but my better judgement lost. So here goes:

Nice...

Ok, let me simplify it. The Pacific DAC provided greater detail, was more linear, more dynamic and had a lower noise floor than the other Lampizator DACs I've heard. Yet it retains the body, texture and dimension that Lampizator is famous for. I think it is a significant improvement over the Golden Gate.

Well said. No good deed goes unpunished.

Almost like someone who wasn't at the show giving me sh!t for not staying all day on Sunday.
