Excellent, thanks.

That's a great idea. Currently all I have is the standard bundled ear buds from Apple. I'll have to look into higher quality alternatives. You know I never even considered ear buds as a viable option until now. Thanks.

I just joined as well. I've got an old pair of HD600s that are getting quite worn (ear pads, ear pads, driver covers, dented grills) and was considering the Mass Drop HD6XX but decided I want something more portable. My HD600s got beat up from being taken everywhere. I was thinking of getting a...

Hi doctorjazz,   My set up is: Mac (OS X.10.1) -> Audirvana+ 2.08 -> Audio Research LS-25 (set to minimum gain, IIRC 6 dB) -> Emerald Physics EP100.2 SE (set up as mono blocks)   I set Audirvana to max volume on the Geek Out 1000. I guess the AR LS-25 has enough headroom that I don't get...

I'm just using a cable like this one from the Geek Out to my preamp. http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Audio-Cable-Splitter-1-Mini/dp/B00004Z5CP/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1420609350&sr=1-1&keywords=headphone+to+rca

I just wanted to report the great results I've been getting using the GO 1000 in my home system. I'm listening to some DSD256 files from http://www.highdeftapetransfers.com (down sampled to PCM by Audirvana - it won't down sample to DSD128). I'm loving the sound but now think I need a dedicated...

That's a shame. With more sensitive cans like IEM's used with a GO 1000, is it possible to attenuate the signal with an in-line resistor? Or will a resistor alter the sound character of the IEM's? With the SE846 I had to use a lot of digital volume reduction which reduces overall resolution. 

So I finally got to hear my GO 1000 with my friend's Shure SE 846 IEMs. He bought some new tips just for me to try his headphones (yeah, he's a super nice guy).   I have to say I was expecting ***SOME*** background noise and hiss but neither of us could detect any. I have to say the SE 846's...

No, I have not done a direct & simultaneous comparison. I did hear the Schiit Valhalla at a show and thought it had more slam overall but also not quite as neutral as the GO 1000. I've also heard the HD600s on Woo Audio's WA7 and came away disappointed. May it had been hyped so much in my mind...

Absolutely. My GO 1000 drives the HD600 effortlessly. Honestly, it easily bested my Peachtree Audio iNova and Marantz AV-7005. For work I use the Mad Dogs (as they are closed backs and don't disturb my co-workers), but for sheer comfort and beauty of sound (even if it may be called "euphonic")...

So I bought a bunch of Blue Note music on HD-Tracks since they were running a special. I'm still loving this set-up. Going to pick up some DSD downloads when budget permits. I drag my headphones, the GO, and a USB3 hard drive to work and try to listen as much as possible.

I've been listening all week at work to my GO 1000 and Mr. Speakers Mad Dog 3.2's. Simply a fantastic combination. I did not go for the Pulse or Wave campaigns because, frankly, this is so damned good I'm thoroughly satisfied. I do intend to test it out on my home rig as a DAC but haven't had...

Um, just exactly how are they running a scam? The Geek Out had been delayed and IMO they were transparent about the reasons. They have started shipping and it's a fantastic product. Now I can understand folks getting frustrated about the delays but nothing I've seen indicates people have been...

Just tried the GO 1000 with Mr. Speakers Mad Dog Alphas. Fantastic clarity and detail with plenty of power. You can really hear the difference between recordings and mixes. The HD-600s are more euphonic which can help some recordings. A great device for both headphones. No volume jumping to...

I think you would be better off with the Geek Pulse, which features a lot of the circuit of the Geek Out with a better power supply.

My GO 1000 just arrived. I'll be posting in the impressions thread after some quick listens.

i upgraded to Super Duper. I expect it to arrive on Tuesday.

Sorry, I don't. I got in at the $139 level.

Mike,   Which software player are you using? I'm specifically curious if Direct/Integer mode is supported in Audirvana. Also have you tried any native DSD content?   Thanks for all the informative posts!

Mike,   Thanks for the detailed update! I'll be joining you in the Impressions and Appreciation thread as soon as I've had some time clocked on my yet-to-arrive unit. I'll be driving Sennheiser HD-600s and Mr. Speakers' Mad Dog Alphas 3.2.

Finally got my delivery notification today. Supper Dupper Geek in black is on it's way.

L-u-c-k-y!

Audirvana with Integer mode on my Peachtree Audio iNova or my iBasso D10 - sounds fantastic. I have a Light Harmonic GEEK on order, can't wait to hear that combo.

As a software developer I know how long it can take to work out all the niggling little issues. This is their first product for their labs branch, I'm sure they want to get it right.
