@ AudioCanada the OP...
I must be missing something between the lines as on 12/18 @ 2:07 PM, you stated...
"current dac is a LAIV Harmony. i think i need chip based for that fast sound, I like your use of 'zippy' adding Topping to the list"...
Then on 12/19 @ 6:04 AM, you stated in part..."might try the Laiv Harmony due to the high praise of its r2r attributes and I can re-sell easily"
Please clarify these statements...
