The Invisible DAC — Designed to Get Out of the Way
The LampizatOr Pacific 5 DAC is the culmination of 15 years of obsessive R&D, refined through countless prototypes with one goal: pure music. Pacific has no sonic signature — it simply disappears between you and the recording. With the introduction of Engine Twelve, the Pacific 5 takes this legendary design to an entirely new level of musicality, timbre, soundstage, and resolution.
Key features:
1. Engine Twelve (E12x2) — our latest and most advanced dual-mono digital engine
2. DSD 512 native support
3. Tube rolling paradise — heater switch for circa 7 DHT tube types (300B, PX-4, PX-25, 101D, 45, 242, and KR-T-100)
4. Directly Heated Triodes in single-ended topology
5. Fully balanced and single-ended RCA outputs
6. Four digital inputs: AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Toslink, USB
7. New OLED display with updated firmware and user interface
8. Three-button front panel control (replacing rotary knob)
9. Volume control models include one analog input for analog sources
10. Total muting to eliminate switching noise
11. Zero feedback design with copper capacitors
12. Tube power supply with active tube anode loading
13. Redesigned chassis and CNC-machined subframe
14. Improved transformers, inputs, and outputs
15. Flight case included for protection during transport
Design Principles: Discrete Resistor Ladder, Gold Plated PCBs, Zero Feedback Design, Native Zero Upsampling, Zero Oversampling Processing, Silver/Gold Solder, DHT Single-Ended Topology.
