| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? 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 a... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? 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 compone... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? To sns, Thanks for those clarifying comments. I like the uDDC frm Laiv, as it allows several differnt sorts of inputs to go to the Laiv DAC via an i2S output (the connection from the DDC to the DAC comes with it and is very short). That makes is m... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? "Continuous updates, User forums, and incredible customer service." That sort of stuff is not always easily determined by just reading reviews. Thanks! Tim | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? My technoLust for a Pure Streamer shows me the following so far (not including Rose products which I started out looking at) after some of your input: Lumin U2 MINI Digital Transport/Streamer - $2,400 Lumin U2 Digital Transport/Streamer - $5,000... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thank you Mitch for these suggestions. Apparently I shall be hustling to avoid tariff-related cost changes, if ordering items made (and still in) China. The Laiv components (Singapore is now subject to a 10% tariff) were already in LA at a west... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Not much data out there yet but what I am reading is that the DDC cleans up the signal coming to the DAC in a noticeable way. It is intended to connect to the Laiv DAC via i2S and with its own multiple inputs it allows non-i2S outputs to connect t... | |
| What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC? Thanks for your ideas. I am looking forward to learning more about this realm and getting started! | |
| Directional wires/cables Seems confusing. I bought some higher quality cat6 cable to my system and read that they should be oriented from the source to the sound, or words to that effect. So, from the wall is “source”… to a switch. The next short run is to a Roon and a se... | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers Ah - and now I read he has gone. Perhaps he listened to an attorney! | |
| Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers I am not sure where you are in the process, but if it is not already over, then calculations of Alimony Pendente Lite, spousal support, etc may be affected by what you post here, The gist of her attorney's argument would typically be "look at what... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass album "Whipped Cream and Other Delights". I wold look at it at length, hoping the intensity of my 11 year old gaze might melt just a little bit of the whipped cream, as I listened to the music. I took up playing t... | |
| why is it such a PIA to post a bloody photo here ? this platform is cranky as hell ! Now I am interested in this topic... Here is my system, copied from my home computer, and not available online - I opened it and right clicked and settled on "copy", then pasted: And nada... So, do I need to post this image online first? What a... | |
| Home network router question People here are using different terminology than I am used to, but it sounds to me like you can move the modem to a new place and the usual setup is then modem to router to switch, with CAT-6 cable running hard wired from the switch to your prefer... | |
| analyzing sound To deep_333 I tend to ask others for advice in order to expand my horizons of intellectual understanding of something. Audiophiles are, in general, a rich source of information (sometimes utter BS, of course) about this topic. I have already lear... |
