About the Horizon
The LampizatOr Horizon DAC is a high-end, fully balanced vacuum tube digital-to-analog converter renowned for its proprietary firmware-driven conversion process, no-silicon signal path post-conversion, silver wiring, copper sheet capacitors, and CNC-milled no-screw chassis. Originally launched as a groundbreaking flagship, the original Horizon was phased out in August 2024 due to chip shortages, replaced by the improved Horizon360 featuring a new digital engine, higher potential sample rates (software-limited to PCM 768kHz/DSD512), additional inputs like Taiko XDMI, upgraded power supplies, and future-proof design. It supports extensive tube rolling with 6SN7 conversion tubes and KT88 output drivers (among hundreds of combinations), includes a high-quality volume control with bypass, analog inputs/outputs, and Nixie display. Designed to drive power amps directly, bypassing preamps, it delivers exceptional sound quality with zero feedback and tube-rectified power.
