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

I just got the LHY LPS from Vinshine Audio today and what a great addition to the uDDC. Really kicked things up sonically. You might want to check it out.

I have a Transparent Power Conditioner which removes noise from the power supply, but I confess ignorance about the various power supplies people recommend. Others have also recommended that particular LPS, especially in regards with these components. Tim

For now, I am going to go with a used iFi Audio NEO Stream from ECHO Audio in Portland, and then likely change it to the Laiv NET2 when it is released. I am strongly considering the Laiv preamp and, when they are released, their 200 W monoblocks as well. In for a penny, in for a pound...

Otherwise, I may yet go to a Rose RS130. In my delving into many of these fine recommendations, I discovered that Innuos is quite back-ordered for the Zen MK3 (months) and I am in fact concerned about the tariff war brewing, wherein EU products may go from 10% this week to 20% tomorrow. Buying used has it's place in this world! But not much in the way of used Laiv products are to be had so far.

And (for now) paired with my Bluesound Node in streamer-only mode, the Laiv Harmony DAC is really very detailed and warm and presents an immediate and notable improvement in the sound stage and depth.

You should know iFi streamers can be very glitchy and their customer support is basically non existent.  I had a very frustrating connection issue with my Zen Stream that I couldn’t get resolved through their extremely lame online support “system,” and being in the industry at the time I was able to get the iFi US distributor involved and even he couldn’t get anyone from iFi to help, which is just ridiculous and inexcusable in my book and they’ve lost my business.  If I’m you I’d just get a good LPS for the Node from LHY, SBooster, or Teddy Pardo until you’re ready to upgrade, or better yet pony up for this nice used Innuos Zen Mk3 and be done for a long time (and avoid the potential tariff increase).  Just my $0.02 FWIW, and best of luck.

Thanks! If nothing else I will get to compare different models!
