  I'll give both ways a try Brian. Either way we have massive bandwidth to play with.

 
Just know that I'm anxiously awaiting your impressions. You're one of the lucky few who get to listen to the Pulse in a properly controlled environment. I know that CanJam didn't do it justice thanks to the outside noise, even on the Primes.

CanJam was a great place to meet friends and play with gear. However no show is good for careful listening. I am enjoying the Pulse a lot now that I have it in my own room and no distractions.

Can you provide an early impression? A one or two liner is sufficent.thanks

It will be competitive at it's retail price point. At the currently available Indiegogo price it is a flat out steal.

Coming from you that says a lot. People who are interested in this and haven't backed are crazy if they miss the active IGG campaign. I'm looking forward to the Soul pricing that they're announcing on Wednesday to see if it's reasonable on my wallet to have looks that match the level of sound the Pulse produces.

The Soul will be interesting. I am curious what they are going to cram in the box. I am in the market for a Pre-Amp.

can't the pulse itself be used as a preamp ?

I hope the reviewer actually uses the LPS .....<snip>.... to help discern the overall impact of Pulse Xfi with AND without the LPS (for power AND USB).

 
What he said.

 

[Kyno]

Do we know until when we will be able to pre-order it at that price? 
 
I'd like to wait the review, but I don't know if I should!

Yes it can be used as a preamp.
 
The Soul is a Pulse X or Pulse Xfi + LPS in one chassis with some minor tweaks. The tweaks are explained in the Forever Funding campaign.

i was pretty sure it could

 

[Anaximandros]

Hm, my post is a bit misleading I guess.
 
The Pulse is going to work fine as a pre-amp and was advertised that it could be a pre-amp.
 
The Soul is just Pulse + LPS in one chassis with the larger case.

Just to be clear, the Geek Pulse is a digital preamp - it does not have any analog inputs and incorporates digital domain volume control.
 
On a related note, I'm not clear on how volume attenuation is implemented on DSD sources without converting to PCM.

 

[nudd]

only if you enjoy digital attenuation.
