LAIV Harmony

Almost a week + 60 hours and counting..

Can safely say it’s at par with Holo May KTE and maybe a tad bit better..

I was worried I will miss my Holo May but I do not..

I am looking forward to their streamer and Class D monos coming out later this year..should be interesting...

:)

@sim_audio_nerd,

"...at par with the Holo May"  Again, high praise!  Awesome.

I too am intrigued by their plans for a Streamer as I just can't justify the cost of the current offerings that I am considering.  Hopefully, LAIV will overachieve with their future products as well.  Thanks for the update.

I’m at about 220 hours. I love this DAC! The Klipsch Cornwall IVs that I am currently using expose everything bad upstream, so far it ’s all good coming out of the speakers. The Laiv is a SMOOTH operator. Very balanced, extended, detailed, and yet smooth. I do not experience any listening fatigue and I would definitely call it a tinnitus friendly component. I find I am able to turn it up a little and it doesn’t light up my tinnitus. I know many feel the speaker is the most important part of the system, and I’m not going to argue that. But man, do not underestimate how much the source can impact the enjoyment of the system.  

@kclone. Great to hear and thanks for the update. 

@kclone did you find further break in after 100 hours..I am at 80 hours or so and wondering if it can get better after 150+ mark?
