From “the chart” I would think the latest B73 would sit at the level of the original Pacific.I would love to know where the latest Big7 MK3 with Engine Eleven sits in this chart.

Thank you for this…. It’s so confusing to know what is considered “better”…
Also remember that is Lampizator marketing. The Amber 3 is a great DAC, and although I'm sure the Horizon is the better DAC, is it really going to be 400% better?Thank you for this…. It’s so confusing to know what is considered “better”…
I’ve never really understood the whole X% better comparison.is it really going to be 400% better?
I don’t think this sheet gets updated as frequently as the other- at least with regards to the details of recent “engine” updates. What would be awesome would be some kind of spectral plot taken individually from each dac while producing the same content through the same system. If that were possible one could see the measured differences in the output of each.This chart may be a bit more helpful... or not.
Yes sorry, wrong term, I think ranking would have been better.this is not his personal preference listing.
With the speed of how Lampizator releases new and updated DACs I might even be able to afford the Pacific one day. When I purchased the GA TRP2, the Pacific price was far far out of reach. It's still out of reach, but within a couple of years it might be possible. And then my original balanced GA will be almost worthlessI’ve never really understood the whole X% better comparison.
what does 20% or 400% a better mean, it’s an interesting chart, but outside expressing a preference it’s not meaningful.
FWIW I owned an Amber 3 at one point, it’s among my favorite DAC’s at it’s price point, the Pacific and Horizon are at a totally different level, it isn’t close IMO, it’s just hard to make comparisons, they just sound better.
Have you considered upgrading one to the new engine 11 setup?With the speed of how Lampizator releases new and updated DACs I might even be able to afford the Pacific one day.

My VPI Prime Signature turntable was about the same price as my original GA....
I would with my original GA, but they are not allowing the upgrade anymore for products more than 4 years old. And I'm not sure I want to mess with the sound of my GA TRP2 it sounds that good.Have you considered upgrading one to the new engine 11 setup?
Did you ever try the 6J5’s in your TRP? You don’t know what you’re missing!I would with my original GA, but they are not allowing the upgrade anymore for products more than 4 years old. And I'm not sure I want to mess with the sound of my GA TRP2 it sounds that good.
It's not possible in the TRP2 - just pentodes. There's only about a million different versions of those, so plenty of tube rolling options.Did you ever try the 6J5’s in your TRP? You don’t know what you’re missing!
