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

To @soix @bassbuyer @toneranger58 and any others who recommended the Innuos - thanks!

 Thanks for the recommendation for that Innuos Zen MK3 streamer. I bought it and am sure glad I did. 

The iFi Neo feeding to the Laiv Harmony DAC was not as rich or detailed a sound as the Bluesound Node 2. It was absurdly difficult to get up and running and then rather disappointing to listen to.  

So I moved on to the MK3. The directions were easy to follow and it quickly paired with the Laiv DAC even identifying it by name in the set up (using my iPad mini which is set up to control it all - what it can control that is).

The Sense app didn’t work at first but the trouble shooting instructions worked perfectly (I had to update the streamer software). I then was able to access all the music that the seller had left on it for me. A direct head to head with an album on my TT it is every bit as rich and detailed. I shall carefully photograph the iFi and repackage it and sell it to someone who will like it, I hope. 

Thanks to all again.

Tim you’re welcome.  Glad the Zen is working well for you and is providing the sound you wanted.  Enjoy!

@timothy468 You’re very welcome. Glad you landed on the Innuos products. Their system updates are frequent and are driven by user interaction/requests from their user Forum. Happy to hear the Zen MK 3 has worked well for you, love mine, I feel it’s the sweet spot in the product line. Works great with my LAIV uDDC and Network Acoustics SmoothLAN. Enjoy the music. 

Thanks for the follow up and glad you ended up in a happy place.  Just shows some things are just worth paying for. 

@timothy468, what is the length of the Laiv Harmony µDDC’s supplied I2S interconnect from end to end? Have you had a chance to burn in the µDDC with the Harmony DAC? Thanks
