Pacific 5
The Pacific DAC is our new creation, rising the bar in the area of digital to analog conversion.
It took over a year of intense research to push every technical aspect of our DAC technology to the new
levels, we took everything thats great about Lampizator DACs and created the state of the art reference
product. We have a very clear idea what the reproduced music should sound like - like real live music.
Our flagship products always had this sound in their design, thats why they inspire some of the world's
most demanding listeners, reviewers and musicians. The Pacific DAC has been designed from the
ground up with one goal in mind - to create a DAC that supersedes everything we have heard before and
done in “the Lampizator way”.
Every part of The Pacific DAC is completely new, even if rooted deeply in previous designs. The four main
pillars of the construction are: the digital conversion section, the power supply section, the tube output
section and control / management / volume section.
And all this is housed in a unique chassis of pure polished brass.
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
• Unique tube conversion output with Single Ended Triode, Directly Heated Triode, Active Dynamic Tube
Anode Loading & Zero Feedback
• New digital “engine” board with a conversion process unique to Lampizator with DSD512 auto-sensing
• New USB & LAN computer interface that is with preinstalled ROON bridge
• New transformers, power supplies, new heater power circuits and new chassis
• New Taras 2017 VC-04 Volume Management System
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.
