Atlantic DAC was made 3 years ago, to the memory of Lukasz Fikus' sailing trip across the Atlantic ocean. It was meant to put in one attractive package as many features of the most desirable audiophile wish list - as possible. From early 2019 we redesigned the Atlantic, mainly to enable the last missing feature from that wish list - ability to roll (change) tubes. The use of Octal base pinout, compatible with power tetrodes and pentodes, plus common 6,3 V heater voltage, enabled us to offer tens of different tube types to be used alternatively. Hence the new name - TRP = Tube Rollers Paradise. Just one tube store on line offers 120 tube models compatible with Atlantic DAC. Add to it the multiplication of NOS brands etc. We tested TRP with circa 20 tube types, and frankly we haven't found one that plays bad.

Moving upwards from Amber and Baltic, you get the first DAC that doesn't use so called Small Signal tubes but instead - we use the overkill power tubes, acting like small signal. They are way off the typical operating points used in amplifiers, and thats why these tubes in our DAC are not stressed, not running out of steam, but instead acting with unheard-of authority, ease, grace and dynamics. The resulting sound character of this DAC is a whole level better than obtainable from any noval or octal tube, forget Ecc88, ECC82, 6SN7 or the like. You owe it to yourself to hear what such pentode system can do. It would be like the first ride in a V8 car. There is simply speaking no going back.

The main features of this DAC are:

Tube based power supply, choke CLC filtering, copper output caps, engine 11 derived from the Golden Gate engine design, 512DSD, Single ended 

 The key design factors:

-Using DHP - Directly Heated Pentode tubes (our cheapest Directly Heated product !)

-Running in Single Ended Triode (SET) mode - very puristic and elegant schematics

-DSD seamlessly playing from mixed PCM playlists (up to 512xDSD) via USB

The combination of the above factors is impossible to find in any DAC in this price range, maybe even in any DAC period and are of the highest performance music players available at any price.
