it's a truly sad sight hanging droopily by its dongle/cable, LOL![]()
Maybe it needs to visit the Healthy Man site for another type of PERK.

^ Thanks for this, Currawong. It's certainly an easy rule to follow, but what's your take on operating at less than maximum bit depth - especially with 16-bit files?
I'm completely open-minded, here - respectfully seeking your advice, as I know that even 16-bit allows a dynamic range of 98 dB, vs. 144 dB for 24-bit - but I've never been able to get a handle on why a lot of people argue that you don't want to reduce the 16-bit dynamic range, especially.
In other words, how much reduction in bit depth is too much?
Thanks,
Mike
^ If we combine Currawong's advice with m-i-c-k-e-y's, we end up with only one way to avoid excessive volume: Never touch the buttons on the Geek Out.
Ok, so please feel free to help me edit these instructions for safely using the Geek Out:
1) Unplug headphones from the GO.
2) Attach the GO to USB port of Mac or PC.
3) Confirm power LED is lit on the GO.
4) Increase system volume to 100% (for maximum bit depth).
5) Press both GO buttons if 3D is desired.
6) Press and hold the GO's down volume button for a few seconds (?)
7) Plug in your headphones.
8) Start playing music.
9) Put on your headphones.
10) Press the GO's up volume button to desired level.
To toggle 3D (on or off), unplug headphones and go back to step 5.
Does this make sense?
First thing I do is turn the 3D on. Then I don't touch it.![]()
