Atlantic vs Baltic 3
The Baltic 3's bit depth is 24-bit against the Atlantic's 26-bit and its output voltage 2.0V RMS against 3.0V RMS. Both share max sample rate (384 kHz) and dsd support (DSD512).
Both turn up in the same documented systems.

About the Atlantic
The original LampizatOr Atlantic is a tube-based R2R DAC using a discrete resistor ladder for PCM conversion and a separate USB DSD conversion engine with automatic PCM/DSD switching. It supports PCM up to 24-bit/192 kHz through S/PDIF and up to 24-bit/384 kHz through USB, plus USB DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256; DSD512 was available as an option. Its analog stage uses a pair of Soviet 4P1L directly heated pentodes operated in triode mode, with LampizatOr PureCopper output capacitors and an exposed-tube chassis. Optional digital inputs included BNC, a second S/PDIF input, AES/EBU, and Toslink. The standard model is single-ended; balanced circuitry and volume control were available as options. The original Atlantic was designed around the 4P1L tube and should not be confused with the later, more tube-roll-friendly Atlantic TRP and Atlantic2 models.
