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?

@campo007 That means you'll need to put on 7-8 hours of music every day within the 30-day window if you're considering a return. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I believe Harmony will be an amazing DAC once it fully opens up.

@audioman58 

Can you provide a little more detail on the Pontus II 15th Anniversary verses the other Dac comparisons? Richer sounding can be bad if it's closed in and dark sounding...

What I can say  is 2 of their new engineers  Cal poly tech , anything going forwards from 15 on dual bigger transformers 80vac dual higher precision clocks   As well as low noise regulators smoothing capacitors much higher quality Evox capacitors from Japan the big white ones ,used in the Terminator , If you want warmer you go with the nos but Tom if you want a bit more leading edge precision and still slightly warm the oversampling ,   Buch better depth of image, vs the harmony I feel better balanced especially with nos or no nos , with the Big silver  gold transformers 

better bass control, asa bonus , what I found is my wife’s Iris 12th DDC reclocker 

is much better then the previous gen and cleans the signal up very nicely runn8ng a hdmi -I2S cable to the dac , for less monies then the harmony ,it is now I feel as good as the Venus 12, now Denafrips had no choice but to design a new Venus 15 coming out in a month. In a Ca. Audio group my brother met one of the new engineers born in China and  great at what he does in digital.
