  Jody..... between that chart and the current crowfunding perks shipping status, which one is to be trusted.
 
Because that chart clearly indicates there is not a snowball chance in hell for X infinite to be released this week.
 
while the shipping status shows it's starting to ship this week.

 
Diana's production update chart is the one to go by. I am not sure how often the crowdfunding shipping status is updated.
 
I will speak to Gavin about making sure the shipping status is either updated, or removed to avoid conflicting information.

The Pulse X is not shipping yet. Once the Xfi models have shipped, production/shipping of the X will start.
 
If you want to check on the progress periodically, the following chart is available for reference:

Just received the Indigogo email from Gavin.

Eh... How do we decide what case the X infinity goes into when there is no link for us to vote or decide O.o

Anyone has the old chassis , new chassis and LPS dimenions?
Need to know if the new chassis can be stacked to the LPS ( vice versa )

Thanks

Likewise for me. I'll probably get the upgraded chassis, but it would be nice to know what kind of size to expect.

Here's the photo from the e-mail with the latest Pulse X Infinity + SABRE9018AQ2M PCB.

All of my tickets have been closed very quickly after they are opened. Just means I have to open more to continue the dialog. At least I know my Xfi, December order date, is still 6-8 weeks from shipping according to the queue length ahead of me.

  It works great with the orthodynamic cans - Audez'e LCD-X really sounds great. The upper end in particular just opened up a tad more than I hear it from my Gungnir/Mojo combo. Having owned the HE 500 previously, I assume it will work very well with most Hifiman HPs (I say most since I need to test it with my HE 6 but that's a different beast altogether). Frankly, its not that great with the HD 800. No amount of twiddling around with the settings helped in getting the SQ and the overall experience I get when I use the 800 with the Zana Deux/BH Crack. I will try the Beyer T1 next to see if there is an overall lack of synergy with the high impedance HPs.
 
The FTM filter is by far the best choice for the filter (of course one needs to have the femto clock upgrade). 

 
I'm still burning in my unit but the LCD-X sounds great on it. Plenty of bass extension. 
 
I used XLR out into an Audio GD NFB-6 running balanced to LCD-X and wow. Amazing soundstage, details, imaging, etc. Noticeable improvement from directly plugged into the XFi. Of course the direct connection hasn't been burnt in yet either. I will burn it in for 2 weeks straight and then test again.

I got my xfi on 2-27, shipped it back the next monday. Loud pops while switching sample rate, much louder with speakers than headphones. Wondering when I'll see it again. Be sure to try different sample rates with your unit. I suggested to Manny that it might just need new firmware (silence output when switching).

The pops are there especially when using single ended output but it hasn't bothered me that much. 
 
When using balanced, it's not as loud and no big deal.

My patience grows thin, ticket open 25 days. Product in technicians queue for half of that. 12 days since any response from LH. Maybe if I start whining....


Mine too. We ordered a group buy of 20 since December of 2013 and still no Geek Pulse x.

[quote="Larry] Hi,

About firmware, don't rush to 1.3... Because the best version 1.4 is about to come in next two days.

We are taking the final stress tests.... Power up/down 100 times, DSD128 switch to 44.1K and switch back 500+ times to see if we could stress out this version.

If no special issue, we will have a dedicate page for this version of upgrades. Femto Time Mode improves too.

Cheers,
Larry[/quote]

It looks like Pulse firmware downloads aren't available on the Pulse support page.
