Lampizator Baltic 4

[DennisH]

I have had the Baltic 4 in my system for about one and a half years now. I noticed in the photo Brabus posted that the footers are different than my stock footers. Has Lampizator changed the footers? Also, have any owners of the Baltic 4 used custom footers and noticed a sonic improvement? My Baltic 4 is located directly on my rack without a platform underneath.

We use same footers for approx last 6 years.
Nothing fancy, just aluminium rings.

… that’s great… I think for me it’s gonna be a shootout between Ideon EOS, TotalDAC D1-Unity and Lampizator Baltic 4…

For people with Baltic 4 using Innuos Sense should Sense be set on normal latency or low latency?

Someone at the factory replied to me that they are moving to a new facility and will be available after January 7th. That may explain no responses to recent requests, however, November goes back a ways.

I work through my dealer, but if you prefer to contact them directly, try a PM to Lukasz Fikus on this site. I’m not sure which email addresses are monitored regularly.

Thank you Tuckia for your reply!

When I ordered my lampi, there was no dealer in my country so I ordered direct from Lampizator.My actual hi-fi dealer don't work with Lampizator, only with métronome and Rockna.

To contact Lampizator, i used the same email from the beginning and Lukasz email too.
The new facility should explain the situation.
I put my previous Rockna dac on my system to continue my listening sessions...I can wait

Where are you located? The factory is indeed in the midst of a factory move and will be coming back strong early in the new year, but if you have a question or something in the meantime you can feel free to PM me.

Thank you LampiNA !
I miss my lampi , the Rockna is good but the Baltic 4 is clearly better in every aspect.
My problem is simple : the spdif input need to be repair, the socket is moving so I stopped using Spidf input with my streamer.
I can use my aes input but it used by my computer for vidéo streaming .

Hi Philippe,

If the jack itself is moving it's probably a simple matter of tightening the nut on the inside of the chassis which may have loosened over time. Shoot me a PM with your location and we'll see about the easiest way to take care of that.

Best,

Fred A.

Does the Baltic 4 sound slightly more dynamic from its balanced outputs than from its single-ended outputs?

Hi Ron,

In my system, it's more dynamic in balanced with full balanced and préamp/Power amp , but i like the single-ended : more body in my case.
My 2 cents

Hi - i have a question regarding the Baltic 4… I‘m looking for a new DAC to go with my Antipodes k22 G4… I listen to primarily rock related music… from what I hear it’s great in tje mids and highs…. very musical and colorful representation and all that and never gets harsh (which is great) but many reviews say it‘s a little shy in the bottom end - bass is not as strong as might be necessary for rock… anyone like tonshare experience or habe you compared to others?

Alternatives on my list are Ideon EOS and TotalDAC Unity D-1.

Cheers,

Christoph

I would say that the Baltic shines in every register Tubes for strong mid and deep bass and with great foundation but a little less resolution in the top are the 12BH7 in my opinion… Keeping returning to them and would say they go well with rock music so the Baltic 4 can be whatever you want..! It’s truly an amazing dac…!!

 

[JP Borglin]

I don't feel that I'm missing anything in the bass. But bass is not my primary focus and priority. (I understand you are not saying that bass is your primary focus and priority.)

On a separate point . . . I think if an audiophile's primary focus and priority is bass he/she would not have tube components.

Depends on where you have them. If only in dac it works excellent!

 

[Brabus]

I have a Rockna wavelight and lampi baltic 4 , the baltic can handle the Bass without any frustration in my system. I think it's a very good dac for All kind of music.

All best
