LAIV Harmony


New company with a new product.  There are several "professional" reviews out there, but not much consumer input here or elsewhere.  Those that have been using now for over a month, what are your thoughts?  What were you using previously and how does it compare?

I've had the Harmony for about a month and it's not going back.  I know nothing about USB interfaces and currently using an OCC based cable and it sounds fantastic.  I may look at some DDCs with I2S, but anticipate that Weng will release their streamer w/ I2S.  Hermes is on my list along with Halo Red, Singxer and maybe Musician.

No quality issues for me with Liav. Hoping this is not FUD. Hoping the competitive entities stand down.

Weng, please let us know if your upcoming streamer provides an I2S connection straight to the DAC. I really don’t want to deal with DDCs.

Less is more, or KISS.

Thx.

@lak I did ping Weng Fai about the streamer.  Somewhat surprised that their Laiv stack didn’t get more press after AXP. 

I’m on board with his new GaN amps. Just parted with my Rose RA180 (actually really don’t know why..)

I’m listening to the Matrix TT-1 (with LPS) through a couple of other GaN and Purifi amps......I2S is amazing
