I personally wouldn't advise holding off on your audio journey for LH/L gear to materialize. If you need something NOW, there's lots of excellent DACs on the market which perform and sound amazing and are at decent prices.

So what's at the same level as a Pulse Infinity X fully loaded etc.?

Depends on your budget(?)....

That is not what I meant or said.
I thought for someone waiting for a LH Labs DAC that they could look at the Yggy.
I don't know of anyone that has compared the two.

Check out the Wyred 4 Sound DACs. W4S has some good deals on new and B-stock.

Also, there are some great deals on used units on Audiogon and eBay.

Hello all, I'm curious too. 1. What's comparable to the Pulse Infinity with LPS? What's a logical upgrade? Two years ago atsq17 & oneguy felt it's comparable to Schiit Gungnir Multibit, Metrum Hex, Auralic Vega and Chord Mojo. With Schiit Yggdrasil and Metrum Pavane as logical upgrades.

2. How does the Pulse Infinity with LPS hold against Benchmark DAC3 HGC or RME ADI-2 DAC/Pro FS?

3. What firmware & driver are you using? I have the following:

Main: 3.0
MCU: 2.4
USB Control Panel: 2V0
Driver: Windows 10 native USB Audio 2.0

Can anyone share their firmware with a fellow pulse infinity 2.0 user please?

Thanks!!

Thanks for that advice Captain Obvious.

I think one has to be specific enough to know your hw content before upgrading the firmware else it will turn into a brick. Better check with stuck limo

The Holo Spring DACs get good reviews too... and the Hugo2. They could at least be in the list.

I tend to find that once you get able a certain level, there's more "flavor" involved, then purely X is better than Y.

I remember reading impressions saying that it edges out the Hugo 1 slightly

@stuck limo removed their post, but I vaguely recall they mentioned Chord Hugo 2, RME ADI-2 DAC and SPL Director as upgrades to Pulse Infinity with LPS. Are they minor upgrade/sidegrade or worthy upgrade?

What is the latest driver version, still 3.26 from 2015? Thesycon, developer for both LH Labs' and Microsoft's USB Audio 2.0 Class driver for Windows, are on version 4.54.

Hello! Yes I saw some mentions for the Kitsune Holo Spring line too, but always wary of R-2R and possibility of "Flavor of the Month".

I agree with the notion of flavors upon a certain cost level, but may not measure or sound objectively better. More so with converters where product life cycles are short.

@Eruditeswine 3.26 and 2.29 are the latest. Depending on your OS, one or the other may work better for you.

@stuck limo , When will LH release a new driver version?
