LAIV Harmony

I happen to really enjoy mine.  Perhaps my ears are defective ;) 

Perhaps I’m missing something, here, but I don’t really see the point of debating whether a particular reviewer’s comments on a particular DAC are "accurate" or "reliable". In the end, what matters is how it sounds to you in your system in your room according to your tastes.

While it can be reassuring to read/watch a favorable review from a reviewer one likes, there is still no guarantee you will like it. In the end, there is only one way to find out. 

BTW, LAIV is not the only company that offers trial/return policies on their DACS!

@stuartk 

I absolutely find value in discussing a reviewer’s comments.  I have neither the time nor resources to procure multiple samples of a component and audition them in my systems.  I rely heavily on input posted here as well as online reviews.  If input from a source is not consistent with others, I think it makes sense to discuss it here so that we can make sound purchasing decisions.

I don’t believe anyone here suggested that only LAIV has a trial policy.

@audiostick

I wish you luck in your DAC quest.

Ok, after watching and reading every review, going through this thread and all 72 pages on Head Fi, I pulled the trigger last night and ordered the Harmony.

Any Aussies here can tell me the how long it takes to be delivered? 

Keen as mustard.
