This is THEE ultimate desktop dac! incredible rich detailed sound and clean! no distortion, built to last ..a fine piece of gear! Well done Laiv!!
With my newly released LAiV Harmony uDAC (micro version), out-of-the-box, bass, midrange, and soundstage bandwidth and holographic presentations are Stunningly Phenomenal, but felt the treble region was too laid-back. Weng Fai has stated, "As for the break-in period, yes, like the Harmony DAC, the µDAC benefits from extended playback. While it already performs well out of the box, you can expect further refinement in treble detail, clarity, and overall tonal balance as it reaches the 200–300-hour mark. With revealing tweeters like your RAAL ribbons, those nuances will surely shine through as the unit settles in."
Weng also stated that "powered-on time" can contribute to the overall break-in sonic changes of the class-A output circuits! Weng's comments rang out in Stellar high-fidelity truth!! Have now achieved over 250 hours (200 hrs. powered on/50 hrs. playing music) of break-in time. This past week, a 5-hour listening session provided the treble bloom that I knew my system was capable of and has blended perfectly in matching the full sonic prowess of bass and treble! Soundstage/musician placements/room energy/imaging/air/transients'/ speed/details/openness/realism/inky blackness/harmonics/micro-macro dynamics/overtones/attacks-decays and warmth-richness of the music have all been upgraded! Simply put, there is not one aspect of music reproduction presentation that hasn't been impeccably improved in my music room!
IF I had to point to the most singular sonic improvement, it would have to be the Midrange. Vocals are sweet, lush, warm and Very Inviting. So much so, that my center Sweet Spot has expanded out much wider than ever before. My eldest son dropped in for a listen and after a couple of hours of watching him smiling, eyes wandering, shaking his head, foot tapping, and swaying to various musical rhythms, I noticed that sitting 4ft right of the sweet spot, "I" was easily perceiving a full, balanced, and proper soundstage, including depth, width, and height well outside of the left Tower. I never had this full sonic detail and expanded holographic experience before in my dedicated 2.1 stereo music playback! Now, every genre/CD/cut reemerges with new clarity of diction and understanding of the musician's/recording engineer's intent. Music is Complete...I Am There in the Recorded Venues!!
IMHO, feel my 25 years in private music study, degree, performance, and teaching "acoustical music" assist in validating my audio perceptual experiences! Ted
It sounds better than the SMSL SU-X, better than the Geshelli Labs DAISY, and better than the SMSL SU-10 — these are the DACs I’ve owned and can afford here in Ukraine. In my opinion, the combination of build quality, sound quality, and the customization options here gives this DAC its unique sonic character. It delivers a richer, more detailed, and more engaging listening experience overall.
The packaging is also worth mentioning — the box is very neat and pleasant to open. It has a beautiful design that stands out and feels premium. The protective packaging is reliable and sturdy, ensuring the DAC will arrive safely no matter the country or region.
What impressed me the most is how all these elements work together seamlessly, making it not just a piece of hardware but a true audio companion. Whether you're into critical listening or just want to enjoy your favorite music with clarity and warmth, this DAC stands out as a reliable and enjoyable choice.
