Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

All together, my Signature Edition ran me $3250.00.

 


I am pretty sure the amp section of the Pulse SE will be bettered by the LAu, but remember that the Cavailli is just an amp, so you'll still need a DAC. I'd recommend adding something like the LAu after your SE. Cheers

Think they were referring to upgrading to the LAu to pair with their Pulse SE?

After more than 2 years, 2 changed jobs, moving abroad 3 times, finishing A Song of Ice and Fire's 5 books, 2 language courses, Breaking Bad and the American version of The Office, after 3 mild winters, 2 presidents, David Bovie passing away, my best friend getting married, after 6256 hours of sleep, 825 breakfasts, 4 pairs of shoes, a new Rush documentary, 2 new Star Wars movies, 11 LhLabs tickets, Conan O'Brien doing a show in Mexico, after NASA discovering 3 planets that could potentially support life, my Pulse Infinity has been shipped.

This is one of the advantages of LHLabs crowdfunding, a person can take a step back and reflect: how have I used my time? Have I bettered myself? Have I helped others and worked to improve our community and the environment?

If you cannot answer an honest yes to these questions, well, there's a worthy goal until the next Geek product arrives.

Cheers!

P.S. I actually do appreciate the guys working at LHLabs for bearing with all my complaints and sending me my unit. I am sure the wait will soon be over for all those still waiting for their Pulses.

That was a great reply. Thanks for the laugh and putting in perspective how the world has changed, but how one point has remained constant; you don't have a Pulse in your hands yet :p  I wish you the best of luck in receiving a fully functioning unit. Another guy a few pages back posted a similar kind of "it's been ages, but I finally got it" and then his Pulse died like 3 days later and he had to RMA it. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, just sayin' you gotta keep them fingers nice and crossed.
 
For me, I am contemplating adding an Auralic Taurus MkII to my Pulse X Infinity in the next couple months. I've used an external amp with the Infinity before to great effect, and I was a HUGE fan of the Taurus MkII when I tried it out last year for a bit, so I'm hoping together they might be a happy couple.

Bunch of enablers around here, eh?

That's a pretty good deal. Looks like the guy is even in Canada...

A few weeks ago I saw one that was in good condition, but missing a screw in the lid; it went for $850-900, that was hilarious. By that math, I've got to switch jobs to be an Auralic screw supplier...

Anyway, this one at $850 with some dents and scratches seems like an alright deal. I don't think I could bite the bullet in the dents for that price, though. Have to be about $750, some of those are half deep and I wouldn't want to see it on my shelf.

The real motivator for me is that I can get a new one over here for about $1000, factory sealed with warranty. When I do buy, that's what I'll be getting.

  Well, actually got a reply from them;
 
:\

 
Good for you! That's extremely rare these days.
 
I received my Pulse Infinity 1.0 in July 2015 (much earlier than some folks here, I know). Unfortunately, on Friday the 13th in January, it died and hasn't worked since. I filed a ticket for an RMA the following Monday, and there's been absolutely no response now for 6 weeks. Three subsequent tickets trying to escalate this were summarily closed without even the courtesy of a one line response.
 
So glad I paid extra to extend an apparently useless warranty for an extra year.

  Maybe if I'm very lucky they'll finally issue an RMA sometime before my 3 year warranty expires next year.
 
Worst customer experience ever. Again, and again...
