November I think is current estimate. Naturally it would be foolhardy, possibly injurious to health, to hold your breath on any estimate given the history.

Haha, true, best to hope really.
 
Anyone here have comparisons with it and the oppo ha-2?

Several, HA-2 basically destroys it in everything. Except sound quality. And ability to drive more demanding headphones. For those last two the GOV2 wins by a big margin.

So basically hope that the new chassis fixes things?
 
I am enjoying my HA-2. Would be very interested to get this and compare the two for myself.
 
Does it act as a USB DAC for the PS4?

Certainly! Unfortunately I don't have anything within the ballpark of the HE560, sensitivity wise (my HE6 being incredibly insensitive in comparison and most of my others being a fair bit or a lot more sensitive), but SQ wise should be interesting. Not sure if schedule will allow, but would love to do a volume matched blind test with a few others).

As long as you find time to cycle in your McIntosh MHP1000s and the Ether Cs when you get them, I'll let it slide.
 
I really wish I could get in a listen of those MHP1000s and Pioneer's new SE Master-1s. Those really seem like fringe headphones and I wonder what they've got to bring to the table that the new/regular niche, megabuck headphone makers don't. I mean, Sony popped out the R10s(ages ago), so I can imagine how a company like McIntosh or Pioneer (coming from similar pedigree as Sony) could muscle up something like that. Something that the other niche makers couldn't.
 
I'm certainly letting my imagination run, though.

Definitely need to find more time to give the McIntosh too! I need another holiday now to just listen to music all day via various bits of gear.

Have any units shipped yet or any updates?
(yes, i'm nagging and i hate it when others fill threads with nagging...........oh well)

i just noticed that the V2+ manual says you need to use a LH OTG cable to connect to an adroid device, but i don't see one available from them and also don't see why an ordinary otg cable doesn't suffice.

Doesn't have to be an LH OTG. Other ones work as well. Cheers

I've used a $2 OTG cable with the V2 and the Note 4 and Huawei P8max, no problems.

 

[Dithyrambes]

NZtech, still looking forward to your comparison once you get your mojo

I have the Mojo! Sadly I also have a cold and major eustachian tube dysfunction, which is messing with enjoyment and hearing. Definitely coming up soon though.

Does someone know how much GOV2+ outputs @32ohms ?

Does this mean that you're using a micro c to micro c cable, or just an otg with the regular usb a to micro c cable from the V2+?
