Light Harmonic Geek Out EM/1000 Impressions Thread
The 450 2V is best for standard line-level inputs. The 100 is best for IEM. The 1000 is best for high impedance big cans, but requires turning down the volume quite a bit with most typical headphones and with line level inputs. I run the 450 SE into my stereo but had the 1000 before. Even with...- junker

DSD, to support or not
Yeah that makes no sense considering RR does excellent 24/176.4 recordings... The other factor is that now me and my friends are having terrible luck with "remasters". Probably about the last 10 out of 10 hires downloads we've bought have been worse than out previous CD or DVD-A (24/96)...- junker

No, I'm pretty happy with what I have. Also, that is too much cable - and far to bright - for me to use it in my open console. Back when we were discussing cables for the campaign I pushed for a short jumper cable but nothing ever came of it so the 6" cables I'm using are clean and tidy.- junker

I think a good quality cable can make a difference, but the best cable is no cable. So, I'm having good luck with a 6" Belkin Gold ($7) and a 6" Mediabridge USB extension (for the GeekOut). It's so short that I am less concerned with voltage drop, noise emission/absorption, impedance tolerances...- junker

No,isochronous doesn't have any check-sum or packet resend functionality - the goal with this is to have timely data rather than total data integrity. How many data errors really occur in most cases I'm not sure, but Larry said he likes to keep very tight impedance tolerances as well(2%?).- junker

I do not believe that the LPS will come with an USB cable.- junker

it appears so... I'd be really happy for them if they finally have their products available somewhere other than KickStarter, IGG, and eBay. Great news. ;)- junker

Hey Michael, Does the tracking # show any package received or in the system? :incredulous:- junker

Always bet on black.... (backgrounds) I'd be up for putting the Wyrd H2H against the LPS... In fair disclosure I'm weird though... I'm the person that doesn't make snap judgements. During Christmas when asked how I like a gift I'm often found with a with a befuddled look thinking how...- junker

Yeah the LPS really kicked-up my Geek Out - really happy with it right now... I'm just using a 6" Belden Gold to the LPS and a 6" MediaBridge "DragonTail" type extender from the LPS to the GeekOut.- junker

It's a Class-A dual 1W amplifier. Gets very hot... Of course you need a battery, or a powered hub, or a power supply. I believe anything over 100mA trips an iDevice.- junker

Light Harmonic Geek Out EM/1000 Impressions Thread
It depends... you won't find as much selection in 3.5mm mini <-> RCA cables. Mostly cheap mobile audio stuff. There are a few good ones out there from Oyaide, Kimber, etc. Personally, I'd rather have flexibility in offerings and getting the correct length with better shielding etc. And you...- junker
