Laiv Harmony Digital Analog Converter (DAC) BIG NEW PRICE REDUCTION-NOW $2850 INCLUDING POSTAGE - Hi, Up for sale is a Laiv Harmony Dac in mint condition. Purchased new from Australian importer Groove Audio in Melbourne about six months ago. Great chance to buy for a $1350 under new. Comes with all original packaging and accessories, remote, etc. Happy to Demo if purchaser is interested. Highly regarded Dac with plenty of great reviews. Please feel free to message with any questions. Must go as committed to new Dac (Linear Tube Audio Aero) at twice the price. Condition: As New / Mint Payment M
At A$2,850 with no condition detail, this sits above the recent median of A$2,196 and also above the 75th percentile at A$2,495, so it reads as ambitious unless it’s effectively mint, boxed, or bundled with useful extras. For a digital component, that’s not automatically out of line, but it’s not a casual grab either.
That said, Laiv’s digital gear is well regarded for clean timing, low noise, and a very resolved yet natural presentation, so the right setup can make a real difference. If it’s in excellent condition and includes the original PSU, remote, and packaging, it could still make sense for a buyer who specifically wants this level of performance; otherwise, I’d want more room on price.
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.
