From the designer: I am so extremely happy to introduce to you our Lampizator’s brainchild - the Aphrodite. Thanks to a revolutionary chip technology, like nothing we ever saw before - it was possible to design a DAC that creates a class of its own. Never in the sixteen years since LampizatOr's founding have we taken on such an ambitious, expensive and labor intensive project. Even the Horizon is dwarfed by it. From new huge EI custom transformers, custom 4 layer PCB, 20 separate power circuits, ultra high end music conversion topology, customized “garbage” muting solutions, proprietary firmware and software, the chip that revolutionizes the industry, new tube scheme, new tube selection, TRP (tube rolling paradise setup), new CNC chassis, new heating scheme, new uber cool dual OLED display, elimination of knobs, elimination of LCD displays, new USB solution with super-clocking, anti-vibration CNC milled support for all PCBs, elimination of visible screws - everything about this DAC is exciting, re-thought and re-designed. The resulting DAC is a true flagship. We can say with full confidence that you are getting a unique masterpiece of craftsmanship that will redefine what you believed possible and may even never be surpassed.
