@audiostick since the LAiV DAC is not connected to the internet I doubt it can receive updates autonomously. Good question for Weng Fai ;-) |
I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about HQPlayer in this thread. HQPlayer has added correction settings for Laiv's DACs and it's definitely the single best upgrade I've heard with the Laiv Harmony.
I've since purchased a Holo May KTE for comparison and can say they're very close (but I believe the May is very slightly better if you're using HQPlayer). That said, I can see why some would prefer the Harmony. |
The correction profile is selectable when the non-micro Harmony is connected and it's also cited on page 20 of their PDF Manual (found in the application folder after installation) alongside the micro Harmony. The May also shares the correction profile with the Spring, so my assumption is that it's applicable across the range as it sounded fine to my ears. Feel free to message Jussi to confirm whether the Laiv correction profile universally applies to all their DACs and test for yourself.
I also highly recommend installing VB Audio's HiFi-Cable since it enables streaming from additional platforms that aren't supported by HQPlayer:

I’ve used HQP with the Harmony DAC with good success for some time - I’ve certainly posted about it but perhaps not on this forum. Thanks very much for the heads up re DAC correction being added and that you’ve found it to be so effective. That’s very encouraging - I look forward to trying this on my return from travelling. |
