I've had the Harmony for about a month and it's not going back. I know nothing about USB interfaces and currently using an OCC based cable and it sounds fantastic. I may look at some DDCs with I2S, but anticipate that Weng will release their streamer w/ I2S. Hermes is on my list along with Halo Red, Singxer and maybe Musician.

@lak I did ping Weng Fai about the streamer. Somewhat surprised that their Laiv stack didn’t get more press after AXP. I’m on board with his new GaN amps. Just parted with my Rose RA180 (actually really don’t know why..) I’m listening to the Matrix TT-1 (with LPS) through a couple of other GaN and Purifi amps......I2S is amazing |
@mbolek From what I understand, I Harmony NET2 Streamer was not at AXPONA 25. This is not encouraging considering it is due for release in Q3 of this year. |
I'm hoping LAiV will add an upper tier of DAC/DDC/MC. Got my feet wet in LAiV with the uDDC. I am itching to upgrade from my current setup. The Harmony has mixed reviews (underwhelming to overwhelming and everywhere in between) and I don't want to risk making a lateral move or worse yet a downgrade. If they produced a suite of devices above the Harmony I'd be all over them. Anyone has the scoop on what's on the horizon? |
