Pacific was for 4 years on top of our lineup, as so called flagship. The invisible DAC. It has no sonic signature. It does not get in the way, between you and the music. New Pacific-2, debut May 1st 2023 - took this good concept to a whole new level. We introduce the Engine Eleven-P chipset for conversion duties which creates a whole new class od DAC. The musicality, timbre, space, soundstage, stereo effect, goosebumps, bass, meat, plankton, - EVERYTHING we love about the audiophile hobby is there in spades.

After the first audition in our factory people were speechless. We created a monster.

Our Lampizator R&D laboratory spent 13 years refining one product - with an obsession of good sound in mind - the DAC. We have arrived at this design as the culmination of that research efforts. In average we prototyped one new board for the DAC per week. Listening to it  proves, that it was well worth it. If it could only look as good as it sounds!

Pacific has all the elements that constitute an ultra audiophile product: zero feedback design, latest and best digital conversion technology, tube power supply, active tube anode loading, Directly Heated Triodes in single ended scheme, copper capacitors, and many other features designed with one thing in mind - pure music.

  • Any Pacific DAC no matter the age or variant can be upgraded to the "Engine Eleven-P" status for a fixed price of 4000 Euro. We replace the whole digital section and also the LAN input is gone - we remove the LAN input in favor of the AES/EBU, TOSLINK, SPDIF and USB.
    Older Amanero USB cards get replaced with the newest JL-USB.
    Shipping and customs fees are in addition to the 4000 Euro fee.
    The upgraded DAC gets a 3 years warranty (excluding tubes).

  • Please read about the Eleven upgrade in our dedicated "11" page

    NOTE: The Pacific 1 after upgrade will be identical to Pacific-2 but we will not rename it. The name of the original production stays. You get the Pacific-2 sound but without the "2" in the name. You get a sticker with ELEVEN certificate.

 Special Edition Riccardo Kron Anniversary tubes used for the Pacific DAC are the best KR AUDIO tubes made exclusively

for us and not available anywhere else.

Their magical sonic properties are due to the fact that anodes are covered with zirconium. It gives them that special dynamics of the 242 tube while retaining the beauty of the 300B.

REVIEWS

(...) outstanding timbre, and tone, and deep, organic bass lines, and midrange that didn’t suffer an iota from the air, and extension the top end displayed. “Addictive Musicality” is what I scrawled in my RMAF brochure book next to the room name. Sound-staging actively changed from recording to recording (as it should be because sound stage is derived from the recording, not the equipment), which to me is always a hallmark of a truly transparent, and properly-engineered set-up.
