The LAiV Harmony DAC 2 is a fully balanced discrete R2R ladder digital-to-analog converter designed for audiophiles who prioritize organic, natural sound reproduction. This unit features dual concurrent XLR and RCA outputs driven by a new discrete Class A buffer, direct 10MHz external master clock input, three selectable PCM conversion modes (NOS, OS, and hardware SRC), and full digital isolation between input and output stages. The 960×400 colour display, 12V trigger for system integration, and USB-C firmware updates round out a refined architecture that builds on the original Harmony DAC's core while addressing modern connectivity and usability demands.
PREORDER TODAY! Ships in October.
