It keeps the fully balanced, discrete R2R ladder architecture and the organic, live presentation that made the original hard to replace, then rebuilds everything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA new discrete Class A output buffer drives the XLR and RCA outputs at the same time, with low output impedance into any preamplifier or power amplifier. A direct 10MHz master clock input lets you discipline the whole conversion process to your reference, with no DDC and no I2S detour. For PCM you now choose your presentation: pure NOS, LAiV’s in-house OS mode, or a dedicated hardware sample rate conversion stage. DSD stays native and NOS, exactly as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFull digital isolation between the input and output stages stops ground loops, USB bus noise, and upstream interference at the barrier, leaving a lower noise floor and more of the low-level detail that makes music feel alive. A 12V trigger, in and out, brings the DAC 2 into your system’s power sequence. A colour display replaces the grayscale OLED, and firmware now updates over USB-C.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAiV","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48534751510718,"sku":"LA-HM-DAC-02A-BG (Black)","price":5879.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48534751543486,"sku":"LA-HM-DAC-02A-SG (Silver)","price":5879.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/1853\/2030\/files\/DAC2_front.webp?v=1785973805","url":"https:\/\/grooveaudio.com\/products\/laiv-harmony-dac-2-pre-order","provider":"Groove Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
