LAIV Harmony

New company with a new product.  There are several "professional" reviews out there, but not much consumer input here or elsewhere.  Those that have been using now for over a month, what are your thoughts?  What were you using previously and how does it compare?

These days you could not judge the SQ based on the price.  For example, Chord Dave that costs $14k, 2.5 times higher than May KTE, does it mean 2.5 times better.  Definitely nay.  Google it and you could see the reviews mixed...

I would agree with that.  The May KTE sounds like an end game dac for someone like me.  Something to think about for a possible upgrade.

I wish I had the disposable money for the May. Plus, once I upgrade to the May, I might need to upgrade all my other gears to fully reveal what it’s capable of. Another dilemma...

@soix while the Harmony and the May share a beautiful natural timbre, the May is more micro and macro dynamic. The soundstage is much wider and the sound is more robust.
