Yes that will solve it. I have done it before in similar situation. As for which cable/adapter combination works better, I would do whatever you can more easily/cheaply do. I believe best practice is to run XLR cables with adapters on rca side.

There are balanced Lampizators with balanced outputs also. Other option is preamp that can convert signal.

Thank you very much for your insight and advice. It is very helpful!

Cardas makes a high quality adapter I used:

Yes, Cardas is in my mind as well. I really like their cables.

Just put in the order for a Horizon. Trading in my Pacific. Very excited!

Damn. Congrats. What did you have to spend to upgrade from the Pacific if I may ask?

Damn going big!

Lampizator offers a very generous 100% MSRP trade in. Really too great to pass up. So I am getting full retail value as if brand new. So, the upgrade isn’t crazy actually.

Congrats and welcome to the family. I’ve got a Golden Atlantic TRP and will be getting the Pacific later this year. They get so much better after burn in and tube rolling. Cheers from Italy

Congrats @keithc !

If I recall correctly from a post on another forum (WBF), it has Engine 11 installed?

I've had a number of great DAC's go through my systems. I finally tried Lampi last year and I was hooked, now I own Lampi's for both my headphone and speaker systems and and I can't imagine ever wanting to go with a different manufacturer.

I am all stocked up on extra tubes as well (ouch, expensive and time consuming to research and find them, but worth it) so I am committed. Easily among my best audio buying decisions ever.

Congrats on joining the Lampi family!
I picked up a used balanced Pacific replacing my gen4 balanced Big 7 which I will be selling soon.
