Horizon 360
The DAC of the future
just when we thought, that our current flagship DAC, the Pacific would be the end of the road for us, we decided to change the tactics concerning the improvements. Instead of making small incremental improvements of the Pacific, we decided to freeze it and instead – start a new project.
Little did we know about the coming future – about the covid, lockdowns and AKM factoiry fire. Starting from a blank sheet we tried to reinvent everything about the DAC that we know, while learning what we don’t.
In 2019 we heard for the first time the prototype and frankly – we were shocked how much superior it is from what we are used to. Thanks to a revolutionary chip technology, like nothing we ever saw before – it was possible to create a real monster. It took almost one year to write a software that controls the DAC process, especially for DSD512. By using our own custom firmware we made a DAC that nobody else has and nobody else will. the engine code name is #19
Summarising, the DAC turned out to be incredibly good. Hence the name THE HORIZON. It is something we look into while on the ocean. It is where we are aiming. From the competitor’s perspective – the Horizon is where they see us. It is also something endless, undefined, and desired. That’s where we wanna be.
