@fthompson251, thank you for the quick response. I’ve decided to go with the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac over the Laiv Harmony DAC and sent Brad the Denafrips Pontus 15th dac manual’s pinout specs.
Looking for a DAC to pair w/ Jay's transport mk2
I've been posting some general questions on several threads recently. I've received lots of good opinions and advice. I have a concluded that my DAC needs a boost to catch up with my system.I have an Aesthetix, Mimas integrated amp with their $1,200 DAC board.I'd to warm things up and might even consider a tube DAC. Budget $2-3K. I'm fine with used gear.
The Denafrips Pontus 15 has my attention...

Haven’t heard it, but the Laiv Harmony DAC looks interesting. |
@fthompson251, last night I emailed Brad and asked him to forego the custom build and I went back to my original request for his stock I2S cable. And he was very gracious and told me no worries and he’ll send it to me this week. I know sometimes Brad may be somewhat tardy on getting cables to a customer but whatever voodoo/hoodoo he puts in his cables, they surely sound like no other cables I’ve come across in my years of doing this audio thing we do at a fair price outperforming cable costing much more. I became a loyal customer when he built me some phono cables. Their performance was outstanding and they got better as they burned in. The Denafrips Pontus 15th Dac seems to be a fantastic cost/performance dac but I had my issues with it’s non PS Audio I2S standard cable pinouts. @cdc I also really like the Laiv Harmony Dac and the Laiv Harmony (micro) µDDC with it’s not one but two I2S puts, one input and one output which I think would work well with my Shanling ET3 Transport with it’s PS Audio standard I2S output.
