Haven't received mine yet.

I have received my V2+ Infinity and love it! I ordered a Revive after I was told they shipped immediately, here it is seven days later and nothing. Opened a ticket with customer care and still nothing. I'm so pissed at them right now! Will I still support them, yes I will! I'm just pissed right now!!

Way back in July I opted to wait for mine cause I thought it sounded like I wouldn't get the case otherwise. Was told it would be about 3 weeks. 2 months later, I haven't heard anything. Wouldn't expect any less from LH.

though i bought the v2+ as my main traveling kit w/ balanced JH13proV2 iem + silver dragon v2 wiring, today i brought my cheap(er) re-400 home from the gym today to see how they fared.
normally i use the re-400 in the gym directly from my moto XPE phone, and they are certainly adequate.
however, with the v2+ (and UAPP) in the chain, holy *$% batman!
the re-400 are much more capable and refined than i ever knew, even with single ended drive.
 
as an example, playing Candyman (live 1988 Dead), the intro is a slow loping sequence and with the v2+ in the chain, i heard for the first time (compared to directly driving from Moto) delicate brushes on the cymbals and light individual hits of percussion that were a mishmash of sound when driven by the android phone alone.  This is in addition to the increase in detail, soundstage and bottom end.
 
The re-400 will never touch the jh13proV2, nor my stax 009, but the v2+ makes them a totally different beast.  How much is due to the better DAC and how much due to the better output stage I really can't tell, but the improvement is obvious and well worth the cost of a v2+.  very impressive and i can't wait to check out balanced mode and get a handle on the jh13proV2 & v2+ combo.

Balanced mode is seriously impressive on the v2+

Opened ticket, got this reply:
"We are in the process of shipping all V2+ orders by date purchased. It's estimated we will receive the leather case in the next few weeks and will start shipping those too once we get them in. We should complete shipping Geek Out V2+ by W4 of September.
 
You'll receive a shipping email with tracking information once your name comes up in our shipping queue and your unit is ready to leave our facility. Thank you for your continued patience and all your support."
 
So in LH time... probably late November.

Just got a V2+ from a fellow Headfi member. Impressive sound on initial listen and will share impression with more time spent listening. Just a few technical observations:
 

1. In desktop mode, I'm using OS X with Audirvana and the digital volume steps are 2 dB. I am not a big fan of digital control, but this is at the very limit of the increment I prefer. So far have not found the annoying too loud or too soft jump in increment to my ears. Would have preferred 1 dB though.
2. When connected to my iPhone SE via CCK, it works fine in iOS 10. However, the volume drops a good 25% compared to connected to my Mac. Not really an issue, but peculiar. Probably not an LH issue and the volume control in iOS is just bad. Will look at other app options, but not super eager to buy the $50 one. Currently I have Onkyo HF and iAudiogate.
3. I hear a soft pop when tracks change sampling rates. Seems worse going back an forth from 44 to 48 based clocks instead of multiples of each. It's not as loud to my ears as the same issue I experienced with Apogee Groove. It seems it is a design choice so live with it or just set to single sample rate.
4. The online manual is in serious need of revision. The power LED description is confusing. With no USB power connected, I see the blue led for a second or so turning the V2+ on, but then it turns off and there is no power led while playing. With a USB power connected, the blue power led stays on but after about 30 min, it turns green.
5. So far I am listening via SE out while my balanced cables are being made. I suspect the jump from low to high gain in SE is less than 10 dB (10x power) and closer to 8dB gain.

 
At round the 7 hrs of continuous play at max sampling rate, the power led is now blue/red. I think that means battery is not charging and power is going directly to the DAC.

Lol its faster getting a v2+ on headfi than funding the product.

Got my v2 on eBay. Took 3 days to arrive...

Nah there'll be the end of year vacations and such. My guess is I'll be getting it in February and only if I'm lucky. As in pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Or finding a 5-leave clover in January.

I have the choice of a regular or Infinity. Does anyone feel the extra power setting / extra filter is worth the extra money?
 
Currently running: Senn 600 / Senn 558, Koss Porta Pro, ATH-m40x, V-Moda XS / M-100....not sure if I need the extra power switch or filter setting. I've heard the 3rd filter setting is really not all it's cracked up to be and sounds worse than the original 2 filters.

 

[stuck limo]

The V2+ Infinity is an ass kicker!! I just listened to some bass boosted rap instrumentals on YouTube through J River with my V Moda m-100's and my

 
What gain stage are you using for the V-Moda m-100?

IA few people have said they prefer it. It does supposedly have better RMAA performance. medium gain mode is kinda handy (but I haven't compared both versions of the same device, only one of either). There have been a number of v2 and v2+ and infinity up in the For Sale Amplifiers and For Sale Sources forums recently, might find a good deal.

Are any of your headphones set up for balanced? Might be worthwhile to save the money and reterminate your 600s cable (or get an extra one) to balanced, I have read some praise for this particular combination in balanced mode (as single end is bridged from balanced amp stages and has only half the output power).

My Senn 600s are balanced and I have a cable to run in balanced mode. I have a regular 2A but I'm going to buy a second 2A for the desktop setup (or headphone setup). I just am trying to figure out if I should go for another 2A or bite the bullet and buy an Infinity. Just not sure if the extra gain or filter are worth it for my equipment.
