Best affordable Linear Power Stage

@steakster thanks for the Aura recommendation, looks very interesting will check into it.

Thanks went with LHY as you both noted, the specific one for the LAIV uDDC noted on Vinshine site.

@scp I found the better resolving your system the better the uDDC will deliver. Great addition to my system. I just ordered the LHY LPS, from Vinshine Audio for $185.00, seemed to be a great value and has been advertised to be linked with the LAIV uDDC product. Should have in a week and will post my findings shortly thereafter. 

@sizzitrail84 i don’t know the difference just went with the one specific to the uDDC.

So received my LHY LPS for the uDDC. As advertised it’s like putting the uDDC on steroids, great product and result. I ordered this from Alvin at Vinshine Audio, this one is specifically noted on the site to be the preferred LPS for the LAIV uDDC unit.

Very pleased and only took about 5 days to get here. For anyone with a LAIV uDDC I would highly recommend giving it a try.

@sizzitrail84 what I’m hearing is as follows:

very big sounstage, wider; deeper and more depth.

sounds develop from a black background, fills out with weight and decays back into the background. 
 

every instrument is placed in the soundstage with great space around it and separation from the other instruments. Warmer top end with plenty of air, full accurate midrange and tight focused bottom end with punch.

it just sounds so right. I’m sure it has a lot to do with my system. 
 

System: from router, SmoothLAN into Innuos MK 3, to uDDC with LHY LPS,I2s out to Denafrips Terminator 2 12, balanced XLR via Nordost Valhalla cables to Sim Audio 700i to Focal Sopra 2’s. I feel there’s a lot of synergy with the system and the end result gives a great presentation as noted above. I’m only using one chord and out on the LHY LPS. Hope this gives a good description of what I’m hearing. I was getting a lot of this before the addition of the LPS but it kicked things up for me a major step with the addition of the LPS on the uDDC.
