Direct reports I'm hearing say the LAIV uDAC beats out the Holo Cyan. You don't have the connection switching problems either with the Cyan's auto-sense switching.
I'd try the LAIV uDAC myself and would like to hear how good it is in my system.
Denafrips vs. HOLO vs. LAIV vs. Musician
I’ve been looking at R2R DAC’s and came up with this list:
LOWER COST ~$1,000.00+
LAIV uDAC
Holo Cyan 2
Denafrips Ares 15th
Musician Pegasus II
HIGHER COST ~$2,000.00+
LAIV HArmony
Denafrips Pontus 15th
Musician Aquarius
Does anyone know how they compare in sound quality? This is for a CD only setup - no streaming. I listen to rock, pop, and techno. No classical or acoustic music.
@kofibaffour Thanks for the advise. |
