| LAIV Harmony Extremely unlikely power cables, any cables or my modified BPT 3.5 Signature power conditioner at fault. You got me to thinking about my power cables and it just came into my mind I can change bass output with my pc recipes (been a while since... | |
| LAIV Harmony The other nit with Laiv concerns a certain loss of composure, organization or ability to individualize performers during complex passages. @sns - I heard similar with certain cables. I've since upgraded my power conditioner to the Audioquest 7... | |
| LAIV Harmony @audioman58 Why didn't you disclose that you're an authorized Denafrips dealer? | |
| LAIV Harmony knock on wood. Stand by what I said, hope you are right and I am wrong. Not sure where you are getting your data on ownership and failures. Couple of forums is not a valid comparison. Enjoy your DAC and keep a fire extinguisher close by. @tkrt... | |
| LAIV Harmony @tkrtrb125 What data are you using to back this claim? So far, I've only seen 2 failures out of an estimated few hundred owners (including myself) reporting overwhelmingly positive experiences across various forums. I've owned the Harmony since ... | |
| LAIV Harmony I'm with Jason on this one... Resistor drift is a non-issue for modern electronics and should easily expect a ~20+ year lifespan unless there's some serious abuse involved. Drift Calculation for Thin Film Resistors There's much greater pre... | |
| LAIV Harmony Regarding Hans’ review... The only time my Harmony sounded remotely close is during testing when I plugged it into the high current outlets of my Furman IT-Reference 20i. Going back to the balanced outlets marked a huge improvement for me within m... | |
| Power Regenerator or Conditioner for Digital Sources It may be worth getting an electrician out to do an assessment if you feel the issue is significant. They can relocate circuits to rebalance and minimize the impact of your A/C kicking on and diagnose other issues, such as worn breakers. In my ... | |
| Grounded Speaker Cable I couldn't find a reference to that cable, but guessing it's shielded and that's what the ground is for? Here's an interesting article on the grounding debate that may explain it: Grounding and shielding: No size fits all Personally, I've been ... | |
| LAIV Harmony After a bunch of system troubleshooting and tweaks (unrelated to the Laiv Harmony itself), I feel the Harmony sounds absolutely fantastic and is an excellent value at its price. In case anyone is curious, I'm running DH Labs' Revelations (XLR) wi... | |
| Ethernet cable for music streaming Were you able to narrow the issue to networking? I'd suggest eliminating the rest of your chain before driving yourself crazy. If you have a laptop, you can buy a USB-C Ethernet adapter to help run diagnostics. You can also look up your interne... | |
| LAIV Harmony I thought exactly the same thing having a little DAC around is a great utility I think I’ll eventually put it into my video editing system until I find my tube DAC. I connected the Harmony DAC to ch 1 (I2S ) and my PSA MK 2 (AES) to to ch 2 on m... | |
| Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off? I went to a private MBL event and the actual owners/buyers there were in my age bracket and slightly older, which is 40s/50s. Axpona, on the other hand, was likely more of a demo in their ~60/70s. In my case, I had to plan months in advance ... | |
| LAIV Harmony My update ~2 days in... Had to make some adjustments, but it's sounding really good. Easily the best value DAC for the money. How it sounds so far: Best I can describe is that no particular frequency stands out for me, everything has an exc... | |
| LAIV Harmony @soix - ...definitely not for me and I don’t have any issues with sound quality. For reference, the Laiv is running into my MBL 6010D. I’m running my system as a high-end desktop workstation and have a beQuiet Dark Power Pro 13 PSU in my system (... |
