It is because of this thread, other WBF Lampizator and ‘higher-end’ dac WBF threads and, of course, the Taiko Extreme thread that the decision to upgrade my DAC to a Pacific to couple with the Extreme was made so comfortable and reassuring. Obviously so many opinions and options out there.
While I have yet to hear the Pacific, let alone a Lampizator, I take great confidence in current owners' opinions/experience here, particularly w respect to its synergy w the Extreme and the customer service of these two companies that is simply exemplary, based on my experience to date, beyond reproach. Two brilliant companies with exceptional leaders. Thank you all.
I also look forward to the sound of the Pacific coupled with the Extreme in the new year. So cool to know others are exploring as well. Stay safe and enjoy.
