A derivative of the Horizon DAC which had to be discontinued when the proprietory DAC chip was no longer available, Lampizator has launched the Genya DAC based on the inventory of parts that came back in from owners who upgraded their Horizon's to the Horizon360.

" ... during his visit to Ukraine’s city of Lviv in 1995, Łukasz met a local tube guru Evgennyi Kreminski who passed away in 2013 due to cancer. He specialized in push-pull designs based on 6C33C “devil” triodes and authored hundreds of schematics for them over the years. Łukasz saw in Evgennyi a dear friend and mentor who taught him everything he knew about tubes. Today’s Genya DAC was made to commemorate the Ukrainian sifu and his last tube stage that hasn’t yet been used in any previous LampizatOr design.
