    LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews

    Time domain is definitely a thing but how much can one pick up is probably as subjective as anything else. In hearing stuff, I don’t think my hearing is absolute and I know my ability to remember sound is worst. That’s why I don’t do reviews without an actually comparison switching at the...

    LAiV Harmony R2R DAC Impression and Reviews

    Output Impedence don't quite matter since recommendation hovers from 5:1 to 10:1 normally and expected. No volume control is something I feedback before, but my understanding is that they will will launching a pre/headphone amp in the future for it and to keep it as pure as possible at the dac...
