The Golden Gate 5
The Gold Standard in Digital Audio
The LampizatOr Golden Gate 5 DAC is the latest evolution of our universally praised Golden Gate DAC. Golden Gate was our most successful product and the top choice of critical audiophiles worldwide. Rather than discontinue it, we trickle down as much technology as feasible from the Pacific, making the Golden Gate a formidable performer. The Golden Gate 5 features the all-new Engine Twelve digital engine, delivering significant improvements in natural presentation, liquidity, and bass resolution.
Key features and upgrades include:
1. Engine Twelve - our latest and most advanced digital engine
2. DSD 512 (8xDSD) support as standard
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. New USB firmware with improved DSD engine
5. Auto-switching between formats
6. Revised power supply scheme
7. Revised tube heating scheme
8. Much improved volume control implementation
9. Custom boutique footers from STACORE
10. Proprietary AC filtration circuit
11. Revised grounding scheme
12. Gorgeous chassis with proudly exposed DHT tubes
13. 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.
