If your interested there is a demo in NJ I think early October, the invite is over on WhatsBest, though it might be full by now.

This basically completes the transition away from DHT’s for the in development Lampizator range.
Same Digital board as the Pacific 2.
Older DHT models stay in the lineup, they are also removing most of the options on the newer DAC’s, which is probably a good move.

FWIW someone over on WhatsBest had reported recently that Lukasz had a Pac2 in his personal system.

Really curious about The Composer. The Q701 (still owned) was my first ā€œaudiophileā€ headphones.

These headphones remind me of Master & Dynamics before they went under and before they crapped out by focusing on wireless only.

I guess it’s interesting, resistive loaded triode into discrete op amp, with a
I do think there is a space for a decent quality hybrid at a price point other than very cheap and very expensive, so I do think it fills a niche.
I don’t like the fact they are pushing user control over the ā€œtube soundā€, when they really just let you swap the tubes and move a jumper to change the bias point.
