On behalf of one of our sponsors Lampizator, we are excited to announce the launch of the new Poseidon Reference DAC, Poseidon Reference Preamplifier & Poseidon Phono. Some words from Lukasz:

"We rode the waves of success with our iconic “Horizon DAC”, which raised the bar higher than we ever thought possible for digital sound. But then, we faced a challenge. With all we have learned and discovered in creating the Horizon, the gap between our flagship and the rest of the line was too large.

Of course our statement piece should stand above and beyond the rest of our line, however, with all we have learnt, and my own personal philosophy of wanting to bring audio pleasure to all, even those not operating with the highest of budgets, we have decided to trickle down much of what we have learned to create the Poseidon DAC. Inspired by the Greek God of the Sea, bringing you closer to the horizon of audio pleasure, with introductory pricing at half the cost of the Horizon DAC."

DNA

"This DAC will share substantial DNA with the Horizon, in terms of sound quality, aesthetics, build quality and the ability to bring musical joy to even the most hardcore of analog fans. It aims to not only compete with, but better, any DAC at any price, outside of our own product line, at a cost accessible to a wide audience. Poseidon will single handedly replace 3 DAC models in 4 variations each, all together 12 DAC models. It is a huge task next to impossible. From Big7 SE to the beloved Pacific DAC."

Why Poseidon?

• Inherits the glorious design style of the Horizon.
• Customizable aesthetics! Choose between the sleek Silver Sahara and the enigmatic Black Hole.
• Replaces 12 of our DAC models – a monumental achievement!
• Approaches the Horizon’s unmatched sound quality, ready to serenade even the
staunchest analog purists.
