LampizatOr invites the audio community to join us as we formally launch the next chapter in musical reproduction, “The Pacific DAC.”

Bettering the best is no easy task, but through the hard work of our exceptional designer, Lukasz Fikus, a new statement piece has been born. We will also be debuting our SuperKomputer music server which we believe to be in a class of it's own.

Complimentary refreshments, mingling, and a Q&A session with Lukasz will also take place in what should be a heck of a day. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Date: Saturday, October 14, 2017
Time: 12:00pm - 4pm
Place: Suncoast Audio
7353 International Place
Unit 309
Sarasota, FL 34240

Please direct RSVPs to Mike B., our gracious host at: mike@suncoastaudio.com

We look forward to seeing you there!

Is it true this will make GG look like a half-sized dwarf with its heat sink, power supply, the 4 additional valves in the power supply that will double dynamics and liquidity?

Have to stop myself. There is this analog I need to focus on.
 
Fred - do you have any picture of the Pacific yet?

Cheers

Interesting. Wonder how much it is?
 
Lukasz told me about this new 'super dac' when he visited me about a month ago. When I asked him if it would (clearly) better the GG he started smiling and answered: I will let you be the judge. If I understood him correctly (original?) GG owners can trade in their dacs for the (original) price they paid if they decide to buy his new dac.

Amazingly good way to treat customers.
 
There is going to be a GG2 between the GG and the Pacific which will be better and all old and new can be adapted to that. There will be special production of valves as well. If you see the difference between a normal 45 and the special 45, all these should add up to quite something
 
The only really sensible option Lucasz has is to send me one for evaluation & What's Best review:D
 
Thank you all for the interest, guys. I hope we get the chance to see some of you at this event.

I have heard a Pacific prototype. The design was almost complete save a few exciting changes, but the aesthetics had not been finalized yet (no pictures yet, sorry). I think it will cause quite a splash...

We are working on final pricing, but it is true we will be offering an introductory (probably first 6 months) 100% retail trade in value for Golden Gate and Golden Atlantic owners to experience this new marvel. This is a thank you for our customers who have invested in our flagships in the past. We will have more information on this shortly.

It is true the Golden Gate will enter a new generation as well. Gen 6 or GG2, however you wish to describe it. We will also work to ensure our Golden Gate customers are all taken care of. Pricing is not finalized, but our goal is to offer the full upgrade of everything a Golden Gate 2 would have vs any existing Golden Gate (even the earliest) for simply the retail price difference. The Golden Gate 2 will be a significant step forward.

Stay tuned, folks! Big things are coming!
 
For me, where i see a big benefit with the Pacific is that is has DSD/PCM auto detection and auto switching so no need to push a button to switch from one to another which makes for improving play lists

The R2R GG already has that feature for about a year now.

The Pacific from what I hear is a complete redesign with lots more tubes in it and with much increased dynamics...this I need to hear, as the GG is already VERY dynamic with the right tubes.

Hi Steve, that issue had gone off a while ago. Our R2R engine has no autoswitching between PCM and DSD. There is another separate DSD engine (which sounds even better) that has a switch.

This was a mild marketing/convenience benefit. The benefits for all models will be a much more improved chip, better circuitry, and for the Pacific the power supply and the heat sink (his magic has always been the power supply and the analog capture), the added 4 tubes in the power supply that are expected to add much more of everything, and all tubes are going to much improved. Knowing how much big 7 and GG benefited with tube upgrades, and how much better the special 45s were compared to normal 45s (which I cannot even listen to), these are the things that are way more exciting
 
Norman,
Not only GG, mine B 7 too:)

Oh, "our R2R engine", bonzo? So the engine is yours, thus Lampizator's? Joined the company then, uh? Nice...

What a silly comment for someone still smarting from the fact that I prefer the Lampi to the MSB.
