Thanks for the review Alvin, great as usual. Just a small request / prayer, since you are in contact with the designers: will it be possible also to have an add on board (like this LEX) but with 2 XLR outputs ? So there will be the freedom to bi-amp the speakers as well as feed a subwoofer in case. I don't know if the next LAW amplifier will have and XRL I/O to chain another amp, but with this "external extra output module" the flexibility will be granted for any audio chain.
Hi sir, thank you! The output stage is Class A buffer, you may use the XLR output for stereo power amp, and RCA output for subwoofer. They are active simultaneously. To bi-amp, you may use a customised XLR cable (Y-Splitter).
So heartbreaking to see Alvin trying so hard to promote all the products he represents and then have the distributorship taken from him after he has made them household names. Some brands are just despicable. I will never touch another piece of Denafrips shit.
Hey Alamo, while I can't comment on other brand/manufacturer' business practice; but I am an advocate of modular design where it enables the users to upgrade the product a few years down the road when a new module/technology is available.
It is way over priced, I put the new Denafrips pintus 15 vs the laiv ,the pontus 2x the size far better built 2 transformers not one ,and sounds better for $800 less , Alvin is buying a $$ lot of reviews Keep this in mind , my friend compared his Laiv with the new pontus 15 he sold his , watch prepaid reviews.
Hey Paul Letteri, good to see you here! I noted you're the 'USA Special Dealer' for DENAFRIPS, and has been promoting DENAFRIPS on the forum (www.audiogon.com/stores/audioman58), I am happy for you, truly! I've tried every way to contact you but haven’t gotten a response. We need to resolve the Ares 12th DAC refund dispute. Would you please response to us asap?
Why do they make the visual aesthetic look so bloody awful? It could be the best HPA in the universe, but I wouldn't listen to it when it looks like that.

Hi Alvin, Did I miss what op-amps are the output stage based on? Is it the same ones used in the Harmony;a ouput? Thanks for the great video!
Hi sir, the output stage of the HP2A is discrete Class A buffer. There is no opamp/buffer stage at the Harmony DAC
What is interesting is that it costs exactly the same as the DAC !!!
it would be exciting news if it was under $1,000
No i2s input ?
Hey Roger, it's a Headphone Amp and Preamp. You may be looking for a DAC instead? Link: www.laiv.audio/harmony-dac
It’s not really a practical pre amp with only one input .
Why dont i still think this product is over priced
Hey Alston, thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it!
So heartbreaking to see Alvin trying so hard to promote all the products he represents and then have the distributorship taken from him after he has made them household names. Some brands are just despicable. I will never touch another piece of Denafrips shit.
Thanks for the kind message! We parted ways amicably. Circumstances changed, and we moved on. I am a positive thinker :)
There will be a "new board" available in a few months that will sell you for an extra $500.
Shady company, don't recommend

I think it looks good & follows the form of the DAC but looks are subjective so to each their own.
@pjmt29 It could keep the shape of the DAC without looking like it had been designed by Stevie Wonder.
@@pjmt29I like it too but not a fan of the three spikes for feet.
Looks are great.
