Or
USB - A with black marker -> any USB outlet then disconnect after USB handshake

Only if the DAC isn't powered via 5V USB.

  Quick question to all the guys with the Geek Pulse XFi, what is the DAC recognised as by your computers? mine is recognised as Geek Pulse X Infinity not as Xfi, is this the same for everyone? 

 
It should say "Geek Pulse X FI 1V5" (or similar).
 
On the back panel of the physical box down at the bottom left, which model is "selected"?

Hurray! You got an Infinity! At least the PCB is...

To be precise, it says "Geek Pulse X Infinity 1V5"

 
Are you having any audio issues? If not, it could be an Infinity board in a X FI chassis.
 
If you are having issues, it could be a X FI board that was flashed with the wrong firmware. If that is the case you should open a support ticket to get the correct firmware.

Use your phone camera and take a pic from the kensington lock hole at the back (not to break any warranty).  
See if present those naked resistors.  If there are, its an Infinity.

If that is the case, then someone who ordered an Infinity and thinks he got one, actually has an Xfi.

or the other way around...

Thanks all, I wanted to celebrate that I got an Infinity instead of XFi but wanted to be sure before doing a happy dance. I am entertaining the thought about the XFi board having an Infinity firmware but I don't have any audio issues so maybe this is not the case(what issues should I expect?). I am not complaining btw just curious what could be going on...
