Introducing the LampizatOr Poseidon DAC

[takacs75]

A RK recti, but the standard 6N1P and L63 for the moment, as demoed at the HighEnd.

There is great room for improvement

I know, but I follow Lukasz‘ recommendation for the moment and spend time for listening to music

Can you already give us your first impressions of the Poseidon replacing your wonderful TRP3 ?

It‘s a brand new device with approx. 50-70 h burn in time during Munich HighEnd show. So the status is similar to my demo unit back in Jan. I‘m really pleased with the SQ of the Poseidon, definitely a different league compared to the very good TRP3. At the moment I simply enjoy listening to some favorite tracks. I changed the input tubes to Siemens PCC88 NOS tubes, will see what improvements are possible.

I am waiting for delivery of my Poseidon but I keep reading of tube rolling. What is it that you are uncomfortable or unsatisfied with the stock tubes in this unit? I heard the Horizon with stock tubes with my amp and speakers and I was astonished.

i did already a lot of tube rolling with the TRP2 and TRP3, At a time I decided to invest more in records, than in tubes. I ended with my favorite RK 5U4G as a recti. I run the comparison between Poseidon and TRP3 both equipped with RK. With the PCC88 I got a hint from another owner.

But all is relative: Lukasz‘ commented in Munich, when I asked for tube recommendations for the Poseidon, that I can be confident, that the Poseidon is not exhibited with poor tubes

These are the GEC L63 output tubes my Poseidon came with .

I love the Posidean. It is one of the best values in the high-end. Best of luck!

How would you position the Poseidon sonically in relation to the Pacific2 and the Horizon?

How would you position the Poseidon sonically in relation to the Pacific2 and the Horizon?

I had the Pacific 1: a gorgeous-sounding, lush DAC with colors. Posdean is decidedly more neutral, but if you love the sound of SETs...... The Posidean does not lack body or tone density but is decidedly more neutral to my ear.

I'll refrain from directly comparing Poseidon and Horizon, although my experience separately with both would say they sound more similar than alike, a nice compliment to the Poisdean.
