Founded in 2013 and Situated in France's picturesque La Réunion island,
The Pachanko Labs team is a passionate blend of audiophiles, music enthusiasts, and engineers who share a love for the art of digital sound reproduction.
Pachanko Labs distinguishes itself by producing its entire range of products right on La Réunion, utilizing only the most exceptional components available, many of which are custom-crafted to meet the stringent specifications they demand for their cutting edge products.
One standout innovation is their distinctive O-Core transformer. Unlike conventional toroidal transformers, the O-Core boasts a ring-like appearance and a round cross-section. This design choice eliminates cuts or break points and minimizes wire length for each turn, resulting in an impressive level of efficiency by blending the strengths of both toroidal and R-Core transformers.
Their high end Roon Core servers are a testament to their commitment to audio reproduction. Pachanko Labs designs and manufactures these servers based on a customized Windows OS, meticulously fine-tuned to seamlessly complement Roon for an unparalleled sound experience.
Their servers also support Audirvana and HQPlayer, for those who need it.
But perhaps their most exciting and forward thinking feature is the implementation of the Diretta network data transfer protocol. Specifically configured for optimal sound quality, it underscores their unwavering dedication to uncompromising sound. As a partner for Soulnote in Japan who utilise Diretta with their Z3 network bridge, you know these products mean business.

Warm regards from La Réunion.
