Offered is „Laiv Harmony uDDC“ by Laiv-audio as new device from the category „Wordclock Generators“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 9743750147 ends on 28.11.2026 at 19:20 o'clock.
This is a late-generation, well-regarded DAC, and the timing mostly matters because the original Harmony has since been superseded by a newer Laiv model, which makes a clean used unit more interesting if you want the older sound and chassis at the right price. At €950, it lands well below the €1,142 25th percentile and far under the €1,332 median, so this reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair.
What makes it worth chasing is the combination of praised build, compact all-aluminum packaging, and a sound many listeners describe as natural, punchy, and highly resolving without getting clinical. For a buyer, the upside is obvious: this is a premium DAC that has held its reputation, and at this level the value is hard to argue with if the condition is clean and the original accessories are present.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Laiv Audio emerged in 2023 from Singapore, founded by Weng Fai Hoh, a veteran engineer previously with Alvin Audio. Drawing on his deep expertise in industrial automation and hi-fi design, Hoh established the brand to champion Singaporean craftsmanship through user-centric innovation. Pronounced "live," Laiv embodies a passion for concert-like sonic excitement, with all products engineered in-house by a dedicated team, blending precision manufacturing—often in China—with a commitment to musical truth over mere specifications.
The brand specializes in compact, high-performance digital audio components within its Harmony lineup, including the flagship Harmony DAC, HP2A balanced headphone amplifier and preamp, µDAC, µDDC, and GaNM power supply. These modular designs prioritize natural sound reproduction, low noise floors (as low as 5µV in preamp mode), and seamless integration into modern setups, emphasizing long-term listening comfort and real-world usability without oversized footprints.
Laiv occupies a rising niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a boutique newcomer, earning accolades like ExtremeHiFi's Best New Brand for its engineering prowess and audiophile appeal. It targets discerning listeners seeking uncompromising performance at accessible price points, selling direct from Singapore while expanding via select EU and US distributors. Reviewers praise its ability to challenge established competitors, positioning Laiv as a fresh force in modular, truth-focused audio.
