So, I gotta share this with y’all. This is in reference to an audiogon forum posting from:  @billstevenson   Rudy Van Gelder on Vinyl  And to responding and researching this forum post, I found this very copacetic (or is it copesthetic?) websit... 
Rudy Van Gelder on Vinyl
@billstevenson, thank you for sharing! I have know idea who Roy DuNann of Contemporary Records and Hampton Hawes were. But I do know who Andre Previn was. Your post made me think of when I was a kid how I marveled at the sound of those old Capito... 
Rudy Van Gelder on Vinyl
@bruce19, I can’t tell you how many times when I went crate digging I specifically looked for Rudy Van Gelder’s work. I’d say about half my album collection is from Verve, Riverside, CTI, KUDU and other Rudy Van Gelder produced vinyl. It’s so int...

DDC or Better Streamer?
I should have written 'the Laiv Harmony DAC have both balanced and unbalanced outputs'.  
DDC or Better Streamer?
This morning while trying to educate myself about streamers reading audiogon posts that you may or may not need a DDC if, your streamer of choice has a clock (or is it a reclocker?) I typed in google, the benefits of streamer reclocking, audiogon... 
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
@hbarrel, Hey - to each his own. You count your blessing that you haven’t succumbed to that dreaded audio disease of up-grade-itis.  On my end, I can read my previous post just fine. Also, my hifi rig is not computer based, but more old school an... 
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
@hbarrel, yeah I don’t care about DSD cd’s (SACD) either. I’m just a used cd crate digger and could care less about an uber priced cd. I’ve got thousands of cd’s boxed up as I’ve been a phono head for some years now and like so many of us did some... 
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
@fthompson251, last night I emailed Brad and asked him to forego the custom build and I went back to my original request for his stock I2S cable. And he was very gracious and told me no worries and he’ll send it to me this week. I know sometimes ... 
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
@fthompson251, thank you for the quick response. I’ve decided to go with the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac over the Laiv Harmony DAC and sent Brad the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac manual’s pinout specs.  
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
@cooper52, with the Denafrips Pontus 15th and the Shanling ET3 CD transport did you have to configure the internal pinout settings of the Denafrips Pontus 15th when using the I2S cable? Or did you have to use a custom I2S cable? Also what I2S cabl... 
What might pair well with a combined Laiv Harmony uDDC and Laiv DAC?
@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

@sns Thanks for your answer.  
Best affordable Linear Power Stage
@ghdprentice, As to discussion of DDC, I’m content my choice of going with Denafrips Gaia along with top quality I2S cable was best for both near and long term enjoyment. With the Gaia no need for outboard power supply, has top notch internal lp...
