Yes, see above for cell phone device compatibility via micro-USB cable; otherwise via 3.5mm jack as an amp only.
 
This thing is a marvel of its' time, said to be the first DAC to use the newest Sabre 9018 chip and is based on the same specs as the Geek Out v2 which has drawn acclaim from several very reputable head-fi'ers at a recent meet.

Ahh okay, I was on the LH labs website and all they had listed was the USB for input, so good to know you can utilize it as an amp too.

Can this be used as a DAC only?

 

[DecentLevi]

Yes this can be used as a DAC only. Just connect the v2+ to your compatible 'droid, iPhone or PC
via micro USB cable, then to your amp via 3.5mm to RCA using the 100mw gain setting of the v2+. I read this is how they were doing it at the recent Bay Area head-fi meet, using the v2 which has identical specs minus the battery, and were quite impressed

Not sure which thread is more up to date, but for me the battery version was $225 when I first tried but it's up to $275. Is this the case for anyone else?

Might give this one a shot.  I've basically avoided LH, but this product should work for my needs.

 

[Khragon]

I purchased one too, been staying away from LH products as I don't like how they lure the customers into an ever deeper rabbit hole with perks after perks after perks, and then before even releasing the current product they went on and offer upgraded version and provide an upgrade path... basically your money goes in and nothing ever comes out if you continue to invest in virtual upgrades.  With GO v2, the $1/$2 "down payment" is much better, now we just hope they deliver on time.

Do you have to connect 3.5mm to RCA, or can it all just be 3.5mm to 3.5mm?

There's noooo wayyyy. If so, there was an error I have to say.

@SoAmusing777  yes 3.5mm to 3.5mm could work too; it depends on which input connection your amp uses

That was I thought, lol.

In addition to the battery, will it be possible to power the v2+ while in use via USB like the regular GO v2 ?   Or, power with wall charger while in use?

 
 

  They have not said yet how it get charged but I would be surprised if it was not USB and no wall charger.
It will most likely run while charging and be able to use USB to do so.

 
 

  I too am curious if you can use the device while it is charging. 

Straight from Larry Ho on the forum - GO V2+ has TWO micro USB ports. One for charging, one for DAC function.
So when battery is depleted or you just want to charge. You could insert another USB cable into charging port.

The good thing about this is: We totally separate the power and signal. No sharing at all.
So when you use battery, you won't even touch a bit on computer's 5V supply.
And even when you charge via charging port, we will start have heavy regulator after that. Make sure the best power is there.

P.S. If anyone is interested in buying, please send them or come my way, I have two referrals, so only one more for the infinity upgrade. I'd love you forever.

So unless one signs up for one of the batches, no other way to buy the V2 when its released right? Pretty much all the batches are full it looks like...

 

[Khragon]

Just watch the classified ads.. there will always be someone who want to sell theirs

I'm not sure. It does have a normal price. Like he said, watch the classifieds, and I would think they'd sell it after it is released for the normal price. The v2+ batches are not full, and it is better IMO, so if you wanna get it, you can either use someone's referral link or just do it on your own. Only difference being you'd help someone out. If so, help me! I'm at 2 refs!

SoAmusing777 - thanks for the charging info.
