| LAIV Harmony I picked up a Denafrips Hermes DDC about two weeks ago and it's working quite well with the Laiv Harmony. The Hermes now receives a coax input from a TEAC 701T CD transport and a usb input from a Bluesound Node 130. The Harmony receives an I2S i... | |
| LAIV Harmony Is anyone using the Denafrips Hermes with the Laiv Harmony over I2S? I''d like to run a coax output from my TEAC transport to the Hermes, and then connect the Harmony to the Hermes over I2S. | |
| LAIV Harmony My experience with the Harmony DAC has been quite different from that described by Hans. I have well over 100 hours of real listening sessions logged in with this device, with a TEAC 701T transport sending redbook CD data to it via coax. I do no... | |
| LAIV Harmony @audiostick No, the blinking CDs are all standard redbook. I have yet to identify a pattern in the incidence of the problem that might shed some light on its origin. But, I'm not grinding my teeth over it. As you point out, there are only a ... | |
| LAIV Harmony Yes, the blinking occurs with both spinners. I have not noticed any differences in the problem between the two. The display will sometimes normalize if the track is changed with a command from the remote, and sometimes it doesn't. It can occur ... | |
| LAIV Harmony I’ve been listening to the Harmony for several days now, and between burn-in and playback sessions, I probably have well over 100 hours on the DAC. I like it very much and have little to add to the positive accounts in this thread about the sonic... | |
| LAIV Harmony @solarjam You will be impressed by the packaging, both outer and inner. Mine arrived in the usual brown corrugated cardboard shipping box, but the box was completely sealed with a tough plastic coating. Never seen that before. You could have to... | |
| LAIV Harmony I received mine yesterday and have been breaking it in with SPDIF output from an old Yamaha CD player set on continuous repeat play. Listening to it tonight connected to my TEAC 701T transport after about 30 hours of burn in, it sounds very "natu... | |
| LAIV Harmony @donavabdear If anyone’s audio setup can demonstrate the good and the bad of the Laiv Harmony, your’s certainly will. What $9K DAC in your listening room is moving to the garage? | |
| LAIV Harmony I too have one on order. My order confirmation on the Laiv webpage gives an expected shipping date of late June for my order, but the current preorder page says that shipping is expected sometime in July. We'll see - they already have my money.... | |
| B&W 802D3 Word of mouth reviews are generally useless. Especially if they come form someone who has auditioned the speaker at Magnolia, which in my experience does a poor job of setting up a high quality full range speaker like the 802D3. My local Magnoli... | |
| Audio Research CD Remote Control ARC now stocks replacement remotes that were previously NLA. I just bought one from them for $75 to replace the dead remote for my LS25II. It is a little larger and the buttons are laid out a bit differently, but it works just fine. I was also ... | |
| Yamaha CD-S2000 SACD player... Yamaha is shipping this unit to dealers who order it into inventory. This directly from Yamaha-US customer service in response to my inquiry. Unfortunately, I cannot find any dealer within 200 miles of me (Madison, WI) that has a demo unit on disp... | |
| How to run 2 tape decks off a Bryston BP25 preamp? I have been looking around the web quite a lot about this issue and have settled on a DBX program route selector, if I can find a nice used one. The product line is no longer made by the current company, but seems to be exactly what I need to swit... | |
| How to run 2 tape decks off a Bryston BP25 preamp? Daisy chaining the tape decks might be a problem since one is DAT and the other is analog. If I set up the chain with the analog deck first in line, analog monitoring during recording and analog playback of prerecorded material would probably be c... |
