It is possible AFAIK - ping Lampi directly or distro in the country you are located

Ask yourself what did you ask initially and you will know what I'm talking about. If you don't like the answer just skip it and ask further

If it is possible I would like to know what are they changing? New Engine 11 or what else? I know it will cost.

They have the golden gate 3 currently. That will be the end of the line for the golden gate series but it uses the new engine and iirc a different input than the gg2 (but double check that second part).

Ok. So should I contact factory in Poland about upgrade?

I would go through your local distributor and see what they say.

Thank You. But the problem it is the unit it is in Europe, so Lampizator Poland will be the most convenient. If You dont know I live in Australia. But can bring it back from Europe.

It is not easy to find used/demo model Lampizator with volume control. Can I use Lampizator output but use Anthem AVM70 volume control bypassing any procesing by Anthem? Any thoughs please reply.

Pass your Anthem the analog output from your DAC, and the volume control will work. I’m not familiar with that processor, but I have no doubt there is something like “Reference Stereo” mode where none of the DRC processing is performed.

Ok. Thank You for the reply.

I think this point needs a bit of clarification. It is not the case that GG3 is permanently frozen or at the end of product life.

Lukasz confirmed that:

(a) at the time of ordering, a Golden Gate (or Big 7 or Pacific) buyer can request any parts that may might be developed over time, whether now, or years from now (say, Engine 11 for example or a later developed digital engine that might be developed years from now, etc), assuming they are compatible; and

(b) If, after ordering, say 3 years later, wanted to send a GG for an upgrade to get some newer part, that will definitely be possible.

So at the time of ordering a Legacy DAC, you'd just contact Lampi and tell them what, if any, upgrades or modifications you want. They just won't be actively implementing new developments.

Thank You for the clarification. I will do that once I am ready.
