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?

I have compared the Harmony with the latest Denafrips Pontus 15 

on its own with its dual precision clocks and bigger dual o core transformers and now big upgraded capacitors from Japan  sonically a bit richer then the harmony 

that being said I bought the Iris DDC reclocker with the pontus using I2S 

for less then the Harmony ,and they will be running another combo sales my friend said ,using the latest Iris 12 reclocker it 100% exceeds the harmony 

we compared them 2 weeks ago with several other high profile dacs

Just received the Harmony. Wow! Fresh out of the box it's certainly better than my Gustard R26. Bass goes deeper with more impact. The midrange is glorious.
Can't wait to see where this thing goes.

@campo007 congratulation. How does its soundstage, particularly the depth, compare to the R26 in your room?
