Looks like a DAC upgrade is on the “horizon”

You guys are clearly good at solving puzzles.
Sorry for the delayed responses to a few of you who asked @orrman, etc. I was out of town for my kids’ mid-Winter break, work has been busy, and Lampi/DHL had some delays… since my Pac2 dilemma, I was deciding between sticking w/ it, vs upgrading to the Horizon, or perhaps the TotalDAC Triunity.

May I present my new DAC, the Lampizator Horizon. I’m about 2 hours on my initial burn-in using just the stock tubes, so it’s a bit early to make any big statements, but let’s just say the initial impression is very positive. I have new adapters incoming for my Telefunken C3G quad to replace the Psvane 6SN7, the SFR p17C tubes to replace the KT88s, and my RGN2004/G2504 rectifiers that will be rolled in as well. Once it’s burned in and tube optimized, I plan on writing up a comparison of the Horizon vs Pacific 2 vs TD Unity.

And just for the isolation police, yes I put it on a set of Critical Mass Centerstage 2s. Power cords and digital/analog interconnects remained the same.

So thankful to have music again. Again, indebted to @Polygonhell for providing 3 weeks of very lovely TotalDac magic during the transition…

Horizon and AIC10, truly as end game as it can be! Now just replace your ZMF with a Susvara please :grimacing:

Congrats my friend I’m sure it’ll sound amazing

Were you able pay the difference between your old and new DACs, minus the repair fee presumably?

You’re welcomed to come over! I’ll need to burn it in and optimize some tubes first.

Let me know how these sound. I am still going through combos on the GA. Luckily every combo sounds really good, but im not sure ive found a “home” yet.

Never in the history of headphonedom has a ZMF can gotten this much love. That is the DAC Daddy! Congratulations on the acquisition.

I thought it was pretty good! I’m actually interested in the Caldera Closed (CC) that’s on the Horizon :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I was hiding in my shelter with my Caldera clutched to my heart, covering its ears from all the abuse :rofl:

@Delta9K Any thoughts on the upgrade? Do you like the new chassis? Any issues with the upgrade process? Any sonic difference?
