What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC?


Beyond the title, not much to say. I am somewhat new to (some) digital equipment (though I have used it a lot at work in other realms, so some of the techno-babble sort of makes sense to me).

So I want to stream music (Qobuz) via a transport or streamer (DAC need not be part of it) to a DDC to a Laiv DAC (which arrives tomorrow!)(not the mini-DAC).

Other than the often-mentioned Rose RS130, can anyone comment on a streamer that would fit into this well? I think the uDDC opens the door to more inputs (it outputs as i2S or USB to the DAC).

Thanks.

You can add the Singxer SU-6 to the list provided by @mbolek.  Most of those provide adjustable pin settings for I2S and they also provide other various outputs such as AES/EBU and S/PDIF via RCA and/or BNC.

The Holo Red mentioned previously has received good reviews for sound quality (as did the Singxer) and the Holo Red can also be used as a stand-alone streamer, which most of them can’t.

You should take a look at this review.
