No slap in the face from me, I always likes the KT88's in my system and I have shared that with several of you. The rectifiers that come with all units are no slouch either. Now, with this design triodes are no longer a factor...Very interesting...NOBODy, but really nobody is suggesting to roll tubes, for me it is kind of like a slap in the face. And then 90% of our repairs is due to rolling gone wrong. It is VERY cheap not to roll and enjoy the stock tubes forever.
What I meant is that: the new dac is not even officially announced, it is not selling till late winter, noone has even seen it or heard it - and YET there are already plans for some exotic unapproved tubes, totally crazy adapters,No slap in the face from me, I always likes the KT88's in my system and I have shared that with several of you.

Very valuable inputThis all seems rank amateur.
My design features 88 triodes, 36 pentodes and 22 rectifiers. All are virtually non-obtanium collected since 1920 by a Japanese audiophile who amazingly still lives. The filament transformers weigh 298 KG.
That's only per chassis. It's a dual mono design, naturally.
Bias and filament voltage are controlled by a independent AI running on an Asimov inspired Multi-VAC computer.
Its production volume of zero makes its unobtainium status hugely desirable to audiophiles worldwide.
However, I have all the parts to build a pair, and it can be made real for 21 million Bitcoin.
Don't miss this opportunity.
Tongue in cheek, of course![]()
I can quite safely say that it will never happen.Any chance of a Genya Plus fitted with Taiko XDMI interface?
OK, fair enough. One more model from the wish list-I can quite safely say that it will never happen.
"Less expensive" not cheapWe introduce 5 new cheap models this year.
That's the New DAC except it's not the HorizonOK, fair enough. One more model from the wish list-
Horizon 360 with no volume control- fixed output?
Well, we could probably build it for you, not any cheaper though because all the infrastructure must still be inside - but not wired for volume at all.OK, fair enough. One more model from the wish list-

Indeed. Don't get too jealous of such genius.Very valuable input
That’s good to know. I prefer fixed output DACs without volume control circuitry since I use a preamp.U

The Poseidon DAC is what you would be looking for here. Marty did a nice writeup of the Poseidon with Olympus on this forum.Any chance of a Genya Plus fitted with Taiko XDMI interface?
Makes sense this approach until you hit a preamp with no remoteThat’s good to know. I prefer fixed output DACs without volume control circuitry since I use a preamp.
Haha point taken lampi has always been a bit special in my heart my friend because of the possibilities of tube rolling and the TRP variants released in the past.What I meant is that: the new dac is not even officially announced, it is not selling till late winter, noone has even seen it or heard it - and YET there are already plans for some exotic unapproved tubes, totally crazy adapters,
Very valuable input
You have a point. My preamp is remote controlled.Makes sense this approach until you hit a preamp with no remote
When dacs first came out , no volume control and just spidif too.
Lampi has been at this as long as I had my first dac not in a CD player .
Lampi is truly a pioneer in DA conversion and has always moved in ways no one did . It's why his company has been a leader all this time .
Constantly pushing to new ideals and it's done his way by trying and succeeding in trials at his factories.
Tubes yield magic why who knows but no one can say they don't add a type of audio euphoria . I love SS power but you need some finesse somewhere .
The horizon is a mountain top no doubt . And now there is a new mountain he has climbed and planted a flag , I think it's why he loves skiing.
Best to all the lampi folk and lampiNA . Great things happen to great people
Enjoy .
We have it and it is called GenyaPlusOK, fair enough. One more model from the wish list-
Horizon 360 with no volume control- fixed output?
The raw look actually looks nice![]()
This is the pre production, unpainted prototype next to the Horizon . Just to give you some perspective.
