BALANCED TUBE DAC  

IN OUR ENDLESS EFFORTS TO RESEARCH AND DESIGN DACS, WE ARRIVED AT THIS BREAKTHROUGH DESIGN. COMBINING EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT DAC DESIGNING, AT AN UNBEATABLE VALUE. OUR GOAL WAS TO GET AS CLOSE AS WE CAN TO THE GOLDEN GATE SOUND, BUT AT ROUGHLY 1/3 BUDGET.

THE RESULTING DAC POSITIONS ITSELF WITH TECHNOLOGY AND SOUND BETWEEN THE AMBER3 AND THE GOLDEN GATE 2. THIS DAC IS A BIG LEAP IN SOUND QUALITY OVER THE BALTIC 1.

WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THIS DAC, BEING WORTHY OF OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN THIS INDUSTRY AND SHOWING THE BEST LAMPIZATOR QUALITIES AT A SLIGHTLY MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE POINT.

We put everything that we could from that legendary design of an old Level4 into Baltic-4. 

You get tons of very cool features here, at a price that is almost too good to be true:  phenomenal digital engine ELEVEN, triode output stage, DC coupling of all stages, double thickness front panel, new engraved rear end, tube based, choke filtered power supply with directly heated dual diode - 5C3S or 5U4G or 274B or GZ37 or 5W4R.  Add Copper Caps, balanced circuit - all in one neat package.

The Baltic project is our attempt on the pinnacle design made with octal tubes. The whole octal tube kingdom is the biggest one, with tens of tube models and thousands of brand / version variations. These tubes today can cost as little as 2 Euro or as much as 500.
Our highest level DACs, in order to surpass the quality of noval tubes by a small margin, had to come from DHT kingdom, but Baltic, a result of our 13 years efforts and experiments and prototyping - push the octal design to the limits. It makes the Baltic-4 our newest model with octal tubes. One could argue that the Baltic-4 is in fact the turbocharged Amber 4 on steroids, but there is more than meets the eye.
