Laiv Harmony and uDDC Digital Analog Converter (DAC) This is a true bargain as the Harmony Dac is currently retailing for 2.8k usd. I'm including the Uddc in this deal as well which is worth 800 usd. Both units were bought from Laiv direct. They are about over 1 year old. Will provide you with receipt for balance of warranty. Comes with all original accessories. Also have outer boxes for shipping if needed. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: EFT, PayID, Cash on Pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By tntman 0 Comments Secure Ad AUD $2,800 Date: January 23Jan 23
This is a buyer’s market for this kind of gear, and this A$2,800 ask looks ambitious against your own recent comps: the median is A$2,172, with the middle range running roughly A$987 to A$2,468. Without stronger proof of condition, provenance, and included accessories, I’d treat A$2,800 as top-of-market rather than a clean buy. If it’s the digital version and fully boxed, it still wants to land below that A$2,468 upper quartile to feel compelling.
Before buying, verify the unit powers up cleanly, locks to input without dropouts, and doesn’t run unusually hot or noisy. Also confirm firmware status, remote/controller presence if applicable, and that all original power supply/cables are included; missing or third-party extras can be a pain on older digital hi-fi pieces.
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.
