@milpai I have not heard any other GaN amps but after reading several reviews and watching some reviews on YouTube I felt comfortable with my purchase and if I did not care for the LAIV GaNM I could have returned it, but I'm very happy with my pu...

Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@v-fi Back when you began your post about Veritas Cables I inquired about the I2S cables. At that time I was told that because there was not a standard for the wiring they were hesitant to enter the field of sales. I don't know if that is still th...

Need Ideas on speaker cables
@chiefsteward1 One of the amps I use in my system is the Red Dragon Mono Blocks. I highly recommend you take a look at Veritas Cables, their Aperta speaker cables or better yet their Aperta SE speaker cables, all within your price range. Excellen... 
Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers
I can highly recommend the Laiv Harmony GaNM monoblock class D amps to you. I’ve been extremely happy with mine thus far. I am sure they would sound wonderful with your speakers.    
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
@charliee my Argentine X are only 1.5 /M long, running from my RCA to XLR converter box located under my preamp to the mono blocks. I’m running longer speaker cables to the speaker regardless of the various amps I use the sound is good with 8’ spe... 
Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Just an FYI; I ordered another Argentum X  interconnect to use with the new LAIV Harmony GaNM monoblocks I just received. I'm using a Loom of Veritas interconnects, and speaker cables and I'm very happy.  
XLR to RCA adaptors
@pindac I recently purchased the DVA R2X to use with my new LAIV Harmony GaNM monoblocks. I received the DVAR2X two days after I ordered it and the unit works very well. I'm also very happy with the  monoblocks.

@jmfinney Out of curiosity how much does your unit weigh?  
Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport.
I agree with audphile1, and at a later date when finances are there upgrade to a better transport. I was in your exact position years ago and found that a dedicated Dac and transport there was a big improvement.  
Finally up and playing
Awesome job!
