Agisthos posted about the lineouts being inferior(surprise to me) along with soundstage issues. Knowing that the xfi can't even compare to the x5 (absolutely no offense to the x5) is a joke since they claim every unit supposedly goes through a full battery of tests before shipping. i only have myself to blame for trusting them because they came up with the davinci. I'll be posting everything for sale once they actually ship me the rest of the stuff since I want to wash my hands (someone on canuckaudiomart made the same comments and did the same thing) of this now after seeing these real world comments.
How much will you be selling your Infinity unit for?
BTW, I have an XFi and I had an X5. I didn't connect them together but I can tell you that the XFi is awesome and I sold my X5 because I found it downright mediocre even when I had low expectations.
With regards to the reported bad sounding XFi units, it could have been a faulty unit or the way it was connected. I cannot explain that away. I do know someone else who claimed his unit sounded absolutely rubbish and sent it back. I haven't experienced it personally and even my skeptic audiophile friends who thought I was ripped off by this crowd funding business said it was the best DAC they've ever heard.
EDIT: I was initially using USB via the Lightspeed 2G but now using SPDIF via Lightspeed 2G (power from LPS) through an Audiophilleo 1. It sounds even better than USB.
