Casey - Thanks for the heads-up! Now I get to do a shoot-out of my 10G split (from Black Friday which I love and is reference in my system currently) and the 10G standard (from this batch). Might come down to what color I like best! Cheers - Michael

Only 3 of the 0.8M's left now (out of 14). Plenty of 1.6M and 3.8M's though (at the proportionately higher price of course).

After i sold my Benchmark and Bel Canto amp to pay for the GEEK perks, I just got a used GO 450 to drive my Alpha Dogs with a new Emotiva a-100 for 189 to drive my speakers, and to be honest I am having fun with it. So no hurry for me LOL I will probably get my stuff who knows when.  These cheap buys make me feel guilty about spending close to 2k on Geek stuff, I will be waiting patiently.

Compared to the ODAC (ES9023 DAC)/O2, the Geek Out sounds a bit warmer. I'm expecting the Pulse Xfi to have a similar sound to the GO but more refined in the treble hopefully as I find the GO's treble to have a bit too much bite/brightness to my ears.

I guess it depends on your personal preferences. I don't find the GO to sound lean at all.

Compared both for another fellow Head-fier this morning, the difference is very noticeable. The switching power is plain, dull, lifeless in comparison, the bass is also weaker.
 
OD 5.5 ID 2.1 I believe.

I was curious about this, also. Where can I purchase this unit? I've already got a Teradak USB decrapifier kit (the Wyrd doesn't work with the Pulse for me).

Good video from Larry and Gavin. Hope it helps answer some questions, I know it did mine.

Why is the THD reading on that with the Pulse Xfi + LPS and balanced output higher than the THD reported here with the Pulse fi without the LPS and unbalanced output?

Because they are selling something now ..in addition the Xfi....
 
??
It has to be better, it is more money...right?
 
Can you hear it?? He mentions that we should not get lost in the specs.. It is about the music...
So, is it worth the upgrade to an Xfi and $168 ??
 
If you are a obsessive compulsive audio freak with lots of disposal income... sure!
If you are insecure if you can't say that you have the "best"  sure!
If not, maybe not.
The question is...can you hear it?? Who knows... no one has had the opportunity.

Welp, I caved. Only time will tell if it was a silly choice or not!

well the X-fi has been reviewed at least, so i wouldn't worry that much. good luck.

Really? I thought only the vanilla Pulse has seen the light of day?
