Lampizat0r Pacific 3 is the third version of the famous High End digital-to-analog converter first released in 2016. The new DAC features a number of improvements and offers excellent sound quality.
According to the manufacturer, Lampizat0r Pacific 3 DAC has retained the proven topology based on DHT triodes (user choice includes PX4, 101D, 45, 245, 345, 300B, AD-1) and Engine11-P electronics. However, improvements have been made to the path - so now, according to the company, we have “perfection” in front of us.
Visually, Lampizat0r Pacific 3 DAC resembles Poseidon, Neptune and Horizon DACs, since the company is also engaged in a program of visual unification of its devices. The changes also affected the circuitry - now the single-ended-only version is no longer in the range, and there is also no modification without the remote control, volume control, and display. All devices offered for sale are only balanced and loaded with all functionality.
Also, gold plating finish is excluded from the range - only one color option “Duracell” is offered (black body and copper top plate).

The Meze Audio company has introduced new Meze Audio POET headphones - the model has a compact design and weighs 350 g. Meze Audio POET planar-magnetic headphones featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in the company's ELITE model and offering very high sound quality.
American company Orchard Audio has introduced a new headphone amplifier Valencia. The new product is made in a balanced circuit design and operates in class A/B. The Valencia project is also the first result of Leo Ayzenshtat’s collaboration with experienced headphone reviewer Steven Ciofalo.
German company Thorens has offered a plug-n-play version of its famous TD1600 turntable - equipped with everything you need for immediate use. The Thorens Super Bundle is based on the Thorens TD1600 turntable, which implements the concept of the early Thorens 160 series models with a sub-chassis with three conical springs. The platter is driven by a belt, and the drive is equipped with an electronic motor control system.
Burson Audio has introduced the Timekeeper Voyager mono power amplifiers, operating in Class AB and delivering up to 200 watts per channel into a 4 Ohm load. The Timekeeper series of amplifiers has been in development at Burson Audio for over fifteen years. The latest Voyager model is designed to operate at high idle current, allowing the transistors to operate in their most linear range, thereby minimizing distortion. Despite consuming over 100 Watts in standby mode, the Voyager achieves Class AB performance in a compact design, rivaling much larger amplifiers.
American company Audio Research has announced the start of sales of the flagship Reference 330M monophonic tube power amplifier, which was first announced last year. Audio Research Reference 330M is an amplifier that combines a new design and new components with the best solutions implemented in other amplifiers of the company. The creation of the device took a long period of development and as a result, the device was released, capable of developing up to 330 Watts of power.
