  • Page 7: Audio Volume Level

    - chip volume systems and preamps with opamps belong in home theatre (cheap one) and DEFINITELY not in high end. LampizatOr DAC should not be used with opamp based preamp, no matter how good. Because the op-amp feedback loops will remove the whole joy of music as delivered by the tubed DAC.

  • Page 8: The Heat Issue

    DAC always on, than to switch it on and off more than necessary. The lampizator DAC with tube rectifier (Atlantic PLUS) has a slow start feature which brings the high voltage supply gradually up, at the rate of two- to five volts per second.

    LampizatOr- ATLANTIC2 TRP DAC Manual Additionally all our DACs have special heater circuits that slow down the inrush current by the factor of 10 and protect the heaters (cathodes) from developing spots and blemishes that cause metal erosion and eventually death (of the tube). Our circuit goes way beyond the tube datasheet recommended protection.

  • Page 10: Tube Rolling And Replacement

    LampizatOr- ATLANTIC2 TRP DAC Manual Tube rolling and replacement W took an expensive and painful decision to sell the DAC with the best tubes we can find in consistent sustainable supply. Therefore we feel you should not be tempted to change them for any reason.
  • Page 11 LampizatOr- ATLANTIC2 TRP DAC Manual For rolling we must observe some basic and simple principles
 1. The tube must be OCTAL BASE, and novals like EL84 or Loctals can be used with base adapter 2. The heater of this DAC provides DC heating in 6,3V DC supplied to pins 2 and 7.

    400% higher current capability as well as voltage max. It al depends on the DEMAND of our circuit. Some Lampizator tube stages demand only 2 mA in total, some can demand 40mA and more. Atlantic DAC demand in total for 2 channels is 20 mA for SE or 40 mA for balanced version.

  • Page 17: Cooperation With The Preamp

    LampizatOr- ATLANTIC2 TRP DAC Manual COOPERATION WITH THE PREAMP The DAC with volume control should sound audibly cleaner and more direct without any preamp between the DAC and the amp. The preamp, however good, will veil a lot of the DAC’s natural clarity, speed and directness. If you feel you need the preamp nevertheless, use DAC at the full volume or order your DAC without volume module.

  • Page 18: The Toslink Connection

    Usually Toslink ports are installed in cheap low end gear and the power supply to Toslink is completely neglected. Not in LampizatOr DAC. If you have Toslink in your DAC you can be sure it will sound good and not degrade the sound. Of course providing that the transmitter part of the link is at least semi decent.
