LAiV DAC Harmony
Fully balanced, discrete R2R architecture focused on precision and usability
LAiV DAC Harmony: fully balanced, discrete R2R architecture
The Harmony DAC uses an R2R digital-to-analog conversion stage. This advanced audio technology is based on a custom resistor ladder with a tolerance of 0.05% to achieve outstanding sound quality. With its focus on precision and quality, it delivers clean and accurate playback—creating an immersive listening experience with exceptional detail and fidelity.
Premium components
The Harmony DAC is built with top-tier parts dedicated to the R2R conversion stage.
Its internal clock is handled by a Crystek CCHD-957 oscillator, guaranteeing extremely low phase noise of just -100 dBc/Hz.
Power for the various modules is supported by Audio Note Kaisei and Rubycon ZLH capacitors, ensuring the power supply has no adverse influence on sonic performance.
These high-end components have been carefully integrated into every critical section of the Harmony DAC to ensure superior performance and exceptional sound quality.
Expect an intense listening experience defined by clarity and precision.
Flexible and easy to use
The Harmony DAC was designed to be as simple and versatile as possible, with special attention paid to day-to-day usability.
All useful information is continuously visible on the OLED display; the rotary controls are positioned to avoid accidentally touching the DAC during operation.
The remote control received the same level of care, offering fully customizable buttons and the ability to control two devices at once with a single press.
And if you’d like to sync the Harmony DAC to an external clock, it’s easy thanks to the I2S input.
