Reviews
The cutie arrived at my door on 5/25, over 3 months ago. I was excited at first, enjoyed the delicious music for a few days, then decided to let it settle in for a couple weeks ( I played only less than 3 hours a day - domestic arrangement). During the break-in the little unit went thru all stages, up and down (at least to my aging ears). Basically, I agree with every review, professional and users, on its positive contributions to the music playback. Instead of repeating those righteous praises, I just wanted to emphasize that LAIV has done a tremendous service to the music lover’s community by making kind and diligent efforts to create such a great sounding DAC within an affordable yet solidly built package. All LAIV team members are not only serious music lovers; you guys are kind people of high standards of integrity and humanity. It’s obvious from the way you run your business. Not only that I love hearing Sammy Davis, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and many other singers on this DAC, but my classical music enjoyment has gone up since the DAC came. NOS or OS, musicality has been improved to the point where I just focus on the music, no more concerned about audiophile aspects such as frequency ranges, depth, width, tonality, soundstage, speed, etc. Not because they aren’t there, but because they’re well BALANCED and in HARMONY (hence your company name). Many thanks and best wishes! Perhaps I should have said, “What’s not to love about this company?”
The shipment arrived two days ago, and I didn’t expect this level of performance for the price. The sound is pure, three-dimensional, and rich in detail. For me, there’s no comparison in terms of performance and sound quality with DACs using ESS or AKM chips.
One of its main advantages is its compact size, reasonable price, and the ability to further improve the sound quality when connected to a UDDC and when using a linear power supply.
I connected it to the Hifiman Prelude amp and used it with the following headphones: Hifiman Susvara OG, Hifiman HE1000SE, and Sennheiser HD 800S. I also paired it with electrostatic amplifiers such as the Stax SRM-700S, using these headphones: Stax SR-L700 MK2, Stax SR-009S, and Stax SR-X9000. The results were consistently impressive across all setups — it’s like listening to music for the first time.
Finally, I would like to thank the customer service team for their quick response to any questions, as well as for the fast shipping. Professional work, Thank you LAIV.
I received it a few days ago. Just early days. Best purchase I could ever made. Excellent build construction, absolutely great sound. The access to the menu could be more intuitive. Probably I will buy the remote, that looks incredible as well. I never listened to my CDs with such quality as today. I oversample the signal from my CD transport to DSD 512 and feed the Laiv micro DAC using the I2S input. Unbelievable. I was streaming Hi-Rez music through Tidal a lot, now I am listening to my CDs again.
