  Well this is a pleasant surprise. I return from my vacation to find a Pulse waiting for me on my doorstep, delivered this very afternoon. I was out of the country and outside of cell coverage so I didn't get the email notifying me that it had shipped until today. Let the burn-in begin!

Congrats Brian and welcome back! Hope you had fun on the cruise!

Is it possible to get a mono pulse with the femto clock upgrade or could anyone possibly tell me the advantages of balanced in this model? Between the long explanation of the Benchmark DAC guys against any possible advantages of balanced along with many top end amps not seeing it as an advantage (WA5 / ALO6) I dont think i really want it. Id like the upgraded clocks though. If LHLabs could chime in and educate me id be appreciative.

Not anymore. IIRC, all customers who ordered for a Pulse w/ femto clock were given the option of adding more money for a X/XFi or receiving store credit with a regular Pulse.

I think someone asked in the LH forum about the THD option being available for the Sfi and Larry responded yes.

Looking forward to your impressions.

Not enough of them here, and I want to know if it's worth getting regular Pulse while having Geek Out 720 already. If you can do a comparison with Geek Out 720/1000 it would be greatly appreciated.

It's already been stated elsewhere that the Pulse blows the doors off a regular GO450.

Other than power, the 450/720/1000 all have the same core sound.
Deduction should be fairly easy.

I plan to compare the standard Pulse with SMPS against my GO SE, I think that head-to-head would be more interesting. Since others have compared the GO with the 450 already it's pretty easy to extrapolate from there how the 720 and 1000 will fare, maybe even the 100. My 100 hasn't come yet from the IGG campaign so I haven't yet had a chance to hear how it fares with IEMs over the bigger siblings. I should be able to start listening to the Pulse this evening, here's to hoping.
 
And here's a general question for all. The Pulse does come with 4 small adhesive domed "feet" to raise the Pulse a short distance and reduce some vibrations. I'm looking to get something with a bit more substance that would better dampen the DAC and also maybe add a tiny bump to its aesthetic appeal. I'm considering these or maybe even these, any thoughts?

Off the top of my head, only one person has compared them on this thread so more impressions would be great. I'm more interested in if there is a sound signature difference as I use it mainly as a DAC for my AVR/vintage receiver. Only have a few days left to order from campaign, so not much time to decide.

The sorbothane is pretty decent and I think you better go with the domed version. Those you listed are really for speakers.
I have a set of A&B abs-02 feet for my upcoming pulse.
The problem with Pulse is that I doesn't have screw holes for feet and it is too light to stay stable on non-adhesive feet.
 
Add: you can also try vibrapods.

I have the GO SE, it is a major step up from the GO 1K, which I also have (but don't use since I got the SE), this comparison will be of interest.

That's the very reason I'm hoping to get first impressions up quickly. I want people to be able to get in on the campaign now and snag the crowdfunded price if possible. I'll be using my HE-400i, Alpha Dogs, and 1964-Q for initial listening.
 
I don't own the 450 so I won't be able to do a comparison since I only demo'd it at a Head-Fi meet. I can compare with the 1000 so I'll try that. Keep in mind that tonight's first impressions will be with barely any time on the Pulse, so no major burn-in should have occurred.
