I2S Recommendation


Mfr. of my new DAC (LAIV Harmony -- grand theft it is so relatively cheap yet so good!) recommends I2S over RCA, so now I am searching for an I2S to hear if it is a step up from the RCA digicable, which I am happy with. Thoughts? Neal

@nglazer Thank you for the tip on the Red.  I am developing a list of Streamers that can output i2s to my Harmony DAC.  I was looing forward to LAIV's Net2 Streamer but began loosing hope when it was not making appearances at recent shows.  Now LAIV just just changed release date from Q3 2025 to "TBA".  I am not encouraged.

@v-fi You've owned the Veritas Optimus 100 for a month now so I assume you have some hours on it.  Still loving it?  Has it changed for you?  Did you by chance go back and listen to the DH labs and Voodoo again, or have you already returned those?  Thanks for your input.

@sns Congrats on your Ximius.  I've read many acalades regarding the Concentus, but have not found much regarding the other Tubulus i2s cables.  Other than being "top-of-the-line", what did you learn that led you to the Ximus?

Has anyone tried the entry level Tubulus Argentus?

@v-fi , Thank you for sharing your cable comparison.  It appears that the DH Labs appeals to allot of people - especially for the money.  I have not found much feedback on the Voodoo.  Do you recall what your impressions were regarding the Voodoo vs the DH Labs?

@v-fi Appreciate the feedback.  Other than Tubulus, there are not allot of reviews or discussions out there regarding i2s cables.  Good to hear the Veritas continues to deliver as it breaks in.  Thanks again.
