Lampizator announcement: launch of our all new TOTL HORIZON DAC
- Thread starter Lukasz "Lampizator" Fikus
- Start date
Silly joke. Input 6 and volume 66 = 666, mark of the updated beast of a Horizon…
I got it 
. Yeah, beast.
I’m glad the VC goes up numerically with SPL on the Horizon. Our Baltic 4 is configured the opposite, which is not satisfying. Wouldn’t it ring hollow if Spinal Tap said their amps go all the way up to zero? Or would that be plus 1?
I wish there was some better relevance to the number 63. Is that the average age of a Horizon owner? A barely passing grade in undergraduate quantum physics? An unknown highway that hasn’t been revisited? Regardless, 63 is now etched on my retinas from the brightest object in my night view. If only there were 6 more clicks available for a more satisfying result.

If Lukasz were Musk we know that's what it would have been...I got it

...exactlyWe already concluded moons ago that perfect volume setting would be 69
My vintage, btw.
Finally it has arrived ... and it is all I hoped to be, and more
Yay finally! Great rewards to your long wait
Glad you got the tube recommendations from Lukasz!
I am going to take some measurements my room, and I would like to use my laptop with REW (Room Eq Wizard) connected to a USB microphone and to the Horizon as the sound output.
Do I need a specific Windows driver, or is the Horizon a plug-and-play device?

Horizon requires a driver like this:
Finally we are using Taiko Olympus music server with the Lampizator-Taiko XDMI link - see the thread here: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/posts/986341/
Perfect, that's exactly the hardware and software I have at hand! Thank you for your feedback ;-)
In order to get full range response, I plan to connect a sub to the sub XLR out of the Lampi, to complement my LS3/5a monitors.
I already had REL G2s connected at line level from my amps, but that sounds like a good idea. I did get measurements with and without subs. Great way to objectively dial in sub levels. The whole process really helped me with the overall plan on approaching room acoustic treatment.

Lampizator Horizon360 - Broadening Our Musical Horizons
As I have been patiently awaiting the arrival of my Olympus and IO my mind has been somewhat preoccupied on the LampizatOr side of my network. Suffice it to say I am totally enamored with my Horizon XDMI and being able to listen to native XDMI vs the Taiko analogue card. But as we wait patiently...

I'd like to inform you that I've just joined the club of lucky Lampizator Horizon owners, having just acquired one of these marvelous machines that Lukasz invented just for our audiophile pleasure. I must say, I can see why there's so much enthusiasm for this DAC, its reputation is well earned. I'm literally rediscovering all my favorite albums, the pleasure of classical music, a soundstage I never knew was possible, infinitely deep bass and sublime vocals. The combination with the Taiko extreme is simply marvellous, I think my quest for the perfect system is nearing its goal, and I'll be able to devote more time to music now
Here is a view of new upgraded system.
