If you also want one to clean the USB power, then go also with 5VDC...
Would that mean you would be running to of them for one device? :s

My Pulse has been running for ~180 hrs, the sound is much improved now, driving HD800.
The sabre sound is still there but much less than when it is new, I would even say it is okayish smooth. The sound still lacks a bit weight or body, also the imaging is not that great, but I am quite happy now.
I prefer FRM filter here. TCM felt warmer and the bass is punchier but also is more "distorted" to me.

We had a pirate mini meet at my house last weekend and had
Geek Out 450, 720, 1000, SE
Geek Pulse, XFi SE, LPS, LPS4
You have to outdo 12 dudes in the SF Bay Area. Come on!
Very close to my impressions, Faye. Excepet that I prefer TCM. (People do vary.
Are you using an LPS? People have reported the Pulse gets more weight and produces a more "robust" sound with it. I am hoping that getting one will help with its lean nature.
Don't have geek out so I can't compare, I also wish Larry can tweak the filter further.
I agree that it is lifeless, no body in the sound, but it is already improved compare to just out of the box. I'll just let it burn-in further.
are you saying the Vanilla Pulse is lifeless? or that the filter makes it sound lifeless?
In your opinion, is this more a function of the DAC or the SS amp?
I didn't think the Xfi at RMAF sounded bodiless with my balanced HE-560 during my 10-15min trial.
never listened to HD800 much, but can they not sound lifeless via many amps?
my ears prefer some tube-sound with HE-560, so one day the Xfi (+nt) will be a DAC feeding Lyr 2 at home.

That's odd, I found the vanilla pulse to sound amazing. It does have the femto clock upgrade but I thought everyone got that.
The vanilla Pulse doens't have a femto upgrade. If you selected the femto during the campaign then it should be included in your unit but it won't be in all of them. My vanilla Pulse doesn't have any upgrades whatsoever. My Pulse X will have everything apart from the SE upgrade.
