LAIV HARMONY DAC 2 Balanced R2R DAC Black

The LAIV Harmony DAC 2 combines a minimalist design with a discrete balanced R2R digital-to-analog conversion, carrying over the architecture that characterized the first generation while adapting it to new operating modes. It supports PCM up to 32bit 768kHz and DSD512, while its discrete class A output stage simultaneously feeds the XLR and RCA outputs with a low impedance, making it easy to pair with any preamplifier or power amplifier. Its modular design also retains simplified maintenance and easy upgradeability.

LAIV Harmony DAC 2: Class A output stage

Beyond its R2R network, the DAC 2 features a new discrete class A output stage, designed to provide a stable signal to the analog outputs. This allows the XLR and RCA outputs to be used simultaneously, with a low output impedance suited to different types of preamplifiers and power amplifiers. This improvement notably makes it easier to integrate the DAC into several audio chains or listening systems without having to select a single analog output.

LAIV Harmony DAC 2: Complete digital isolation

The DAC 2 architecture fully separates the input and output stages with dedicated digital isolation. This design limits the propagation of ground loops, noise carried by the USB bus, and interference from upstream connected devices, thereby lowering the residual noise level and preserving low-level information.
