Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

My decision was I had already invested X months what difference did a couple more make? SO I went for the extra $22.

Hi Eric, do you reckon the pulse will benefit from the Ifi Ipurifier?

 

[longbowbbs]

The better the power the better the signal. I am a fan of ifi gear too. 
 
I am interested to hear the ∞ with the LPS4 when it arrives. I am sure it will sound better. I would expect the Ipurifier would also take things up a notch.

Please note the ipurifier only works to condition 5v power and doesn't reclock so i reckon no use for Pulse

if your pulse has femto, does it still need stuff like Wyrd / Uptone Regen etc ?

I think the product that condition the 5v power is the IUSBPOWER, not the Ipurifier

Actually you are right. Sorry for the misinformation. No idea about the iPurifier. Maybe if the environment has lots of rfi Or emi?

Sorry!

I had this question also, but was never conclusively answered. Logically I would have thought not because the Pulse has their own "triple buffer" and jitter reduction/reclocking technology and works in asynchronous mode?
 
But perhaps it all depends on how good the reclocking technology actually is?


Edit: tripe buffer -> triple buffer.

No problem. Since I got Jay's LPS for 12V. I am considering to get the IUSBPOWER and probably the Ipurifier too.
I have to thank LHLAB for the pulse infinity delay. I am becoming a much more patient person =p

I think the USB power is only used for the initial hand shake though, you can even disconnect the USB 5V power after the initial hand shake, so does getting the IUSBPOWER really help anything on Geek pulse??

 

[hemtmaker]

That's what I am not too sure about. FYI I also watched Gavin's video on using the split cable with their LPS4. Not sure whether there is any difference between collecting the data from a noisy environment (pc) vs getting the data from the clean environment

  I am experiencing no problems. I have over 400 hours on the ∞. No firmware issues, no volume control issues, no phantom channel leakage.
 
I cannot speak for anyone else, but my ∞ is working as advertised and after the 18 months I am enjoying what I paid and waited for.

Even Toslink?

I mean my Sfi works fine, but it IS buggy as all hell. I need to switch back and forth between filters to make the Toslink work and USB sometimes I have to switch back and forth input options.

with my GO conneceted to Wyrd i have to disconnect usb cable every few days becuase computer imac
wont detect it. not bad but wish things were more of connect it and forget it.

If you don't have the wyrd, it runs without any problems... Four days?

 

[Maelob]

i will check- probably has to do with computer going to deep sleep- it could be a few days running with no issue an then randomly when waking computer up the computer Go does not show up- all i do is disconnect and re connect it from wyrd and then it will show up. i probably do that once or twice a week. wierd - but it does not bother me.

  Nope I have the 9018A2QM. All of the Infinities do. The case does not matter.
 
I am very pleased. I will be interested to hear the difference the LPS4 makes when it arrives.

 
When did you back your pulse infinity with 9018A2QM with the old case? I backed the exact same configuration as you on October 31, 2013. I have still yet to here anything.
