Looks like they reduced the MSRP price on their Xfi?
Pulse Xfi went down from $3,199 to $2,999 while they included the Infinity at $3,599. I thought the Infinity is a limited Indiegogo only model along witht the SE, looks like it'll be their highest Pulse DAC config to be retailed now?
I personally don't see them selling this much Pulse Units at MSRP.
It's still way too expensive in my opinion compared to the competitors.
But I wish them the best and success. But $999 for a plain Pulse... that's way too much considering the firmware bugs which are going to be fixed at some time. The GO firmware was fixed after a couple of months I think and it was a "minor" volume bug.
Instead of focusing on implementing the new filters, like the SMM, they should focus on the firmware first. Maybe that's what they're doing and have two dedicated teams working on it.
Not to mention the features on the Pulse is very minimal compared to others at that price range.
If i'm not mistaken, wasn't the original MSRP for all the Pulse models much less by 1/2 of what the current MSRP is now? How do they justify doubling the MSRP from it's original MSRP?
They justify the cost, because the Pulse evolved during the campaign to what it is right now. New case, new features like the filters, gain stage - but I thought the silver array was going to be IGG only as a gift from Larry.

I thought the older case looked better/pricier than the plain one now.. But with those new features it doesn't seem to be 2.5x the original MSRP? Unless they upgraded the whole internal and circuity/PCB boards to a whole new level..
I missed the silver array part, any link on that? Is it permanent on all base pulse now?

This wasn't the MSRP, the $399 was the IGG contribution amount for a standard Geek Pulse. The plan was always to up the amount to the price they would be selling at retail, which LHL said for as long as I can remember was $999. Cheers

It was the MSRP during the first IGG Pulse campaign, where the Pulse was offered for $299 or $200 for Kickstarter backer.
The MSRP of $999 resulted because of the last changes to the Pulse during the campaign and when the campain ended and even more features were added.
The Price for the Pulse at $399 was for the Forever Funding campaign and for Geek Force members only at the beginning, before adding the Payment Plan Perk as a Pre-Sale price.
the igg page originally said $499 for pulse and $699 for pulse x msrp. Then they made changes: a bigger enclosure, gain switching, volume knob, screen etc
All I see everybody talking about is DAC DAC DAC DAC DAC. Isn't a 3w dedicated headphone amp worth something as well? ( I think I could probably get ample volume out of a string and paper cup) I would assume if they spent all this time on a product that is intended to compete at the $1k range the amp would be very good if not excellent as well so I see added value there. Although I have yet to receive my unit (vanilla pulse) I still think I come out ahead @$399 vs buying two Schiit products (magni2/modi2 uber versions) for $300.
