Most likely yes.  I have a surface pro 4 and I needed to have access to more than one port so I used a hub.  I OFTEN use a hub with the gov2+.  Same hub as always. the thing is ... when in doubt ... do NOT put the thing up at 100%!!!!  That seems like a negligence lawsuit waiting to happen...

GOV2+ w/ Windows.  no enhancements.  It USUALLY remembers the volume.  But this last time (and a few others), it started up at 100%.  I'm surprised my ears aren't actually bleeding right now...

Wait ... so the upgrade to Infinity was a matter of a firmware upgrade???

Ok.  I'm going to bring this up again because I am SO damn pissed and other people can potentially get hurt.  The f'ing gov2+ ONCE AGAIN loaded up on 100% and blew my ears and my headphones.  I've NEVER been exposed to that kind of volume and I'm a freaking DJ.  Now my ears actually hurt.  This...

I think you will find they are both USB micro B. Yes, I'm using Window 10 but the unit was already set to the default device. I try not to set windows to upsample, typically.

I've been loving my unit, but one thing that has been driving me nuts ... sometimes, when I first plug the V2+ in to my PC, it defaults to 100% and has nearly blown my ears off several times.  I feel like it could be damaging to both my easy-to-drive el-8s  AND to my ears.  I imagine this is...

Just making sure you know it's a slider, and not a button? :)

rebooting the computer didn't work.  BUT uninstalling the driver and reinstalling did the trick ... in case anybody else runs into the same problem...

uh oh ... full charge and my computer no longer recognizes the gov2+.  It doesn't work plugged in (both charge and data) or on battery.  Lights up just fine though. I guess I'll check with another device...

  Hi Larry,   I have a few questions.   1) Does the unit use any power from the usb bus?  I thought it would be like the V2 in that it could be run bus powered. 2) In order to get the cleanest power (when not using the battery) ... where do we hook up our LPS ... to the power in, or...

Ha!  I haven't been back to that thread in a while.  Thanks for letting me know there was a dissenting voice!  ;) I just replied there.

Awesome - thanks for the follow up!  (I just saw this).  I really need to get my hands on a Mojo to do a side by side with my gov2+!     Thanks touok!  My impression with the GOV2+ is that it's a little analytical and loses some of the euphonic musicality in some songs.  I don't think...

  In regard to the filters ....    The green mode (FRM) seems to restore some of the presence while the blue mode (TCM) really controls the transients, particularly in the trebles where it adds just the slightest bit of emphasis. Sometimes, the green mode is a bit splashy in the trebles.  For...

  Have you seen this thread and the links there? http://www.head-fi.org/t/789524/gov2-vs-mojo     But yeah, if anybody else has anything to add, I'm all ears!

some recordings are very "in my head".  Unfortunately some of my favorite songs feel like that. eg. Brotsjor by Olafur Arnalds other records present with a nice soundstage layout (eg. Way of the Samurai by Deceptikon) other records are a little all over the place.  For instance "Epilogue...

Nothing as amazing as your gear.  For now, Audeze El-8s (black).  I got them as part if the indiegogo campaign.  I like them a lot (while others do not).  Not as euphonic as something like the TH-X00 Ebony's and not as smooth as any of the LCD's but pretty great for the price I got them at.  ...

    My phone is on the fritz so it's a lousy tablet picture.   Impressions?  It sounds great.  ;)  Clear transients.  Moderately narrow soundstage.  instruments sound clearly what they are.  decent bass - controlled.  mids ever so slightly recessed.  Or maybe I'm just not noting them in my...

My GOV2+ arrived!!!  :)

estimated delivery:  Thursday!

woohoo ... i'm a "1 percenter!!"

Nothing here either. Though I did get a phone call from the Santa Rosa area ..... but couldn't take the call.  :(  Maybe they were going to tell me that I won the geek out dac lottery!!!!

I just wanted to thank the OP for this thread.  I've read a little here and there in other threads and it's nice to have it all in one place. Also - thank you to everybody who took the time to give their impressions and comparisons!!   Frank.

  I suspect that's a load of hooey since I ordered the regular V2+ and I don't have mine yet either.

Thanks for your impressions @Jeremy and @RedJohn456 - I have 2 days to decide whether to keep the Groove or return it.  I've enjoyed it thus far, but I'm waiting my GOV2+ and was glad to hear your opinions - even if they don't quite match.  lol.   Frank.

@RedJohn456 - You can purchase the AQ Dragontail from Amazon.ca.  It's kinda expensive compared to the states tho.  $34 CAD vs $16 USD At $16 I thought it was ok value for money considering that it gets the dongle off my computer and used AQ "Carbon" technology for a short run.  YMMV...
