About the Baltic 3
The LampizatOr Baltic 3 is a breakthrough balanced tube DAC designed to deliver high-end performance at an accessible price, positioned between the Amber 3 and Golden Gate models. It employs a true balanced topology with four monophonic channels, one for each phase of the stereo signal, and a new tube circuit topology that redefines tube use in DACs. Key features include a proprietary Delta-Sigma digital engine (#5 or #53A) with auto-switching for PCM and DSD, tube-rectified CLC-filtered power supply, True Copper Miflex output capacitors, and simultaneous single-ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs. A rear switch selects low gain (2V) or high gain (6V) output. It offers four digital inputs: USB (compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac; Mac max DSD256), S/PDIF RCA/BNC, AES/EBU, Toslink. Tube complement includes 2x 5963 JAN (or ECC802) output tubes, 2x 6N8PA (or CV181-T, 6H8C, 6SN7GT) input tubes, and 1x rectifier (5U4G, 274B, 5C3S, 5Y3, GZ37, 5R4WGB). No volume control in standard model (optional volume-controlled version available with display, remote, analog inputs). Renowned for low noise floor, musicality, and engaging sound.
