Warranty is 'transferable' - as long as you can "provide proof of purchase (such as a receipt)". Officially, you can't, but unofficially, there's no reason why not - just have the proof of purchase. This is standard practice across other electronic gadgets too.

Worst case scenario, you just need the original owner to help you process the RMA

I hope you are right but they have outright said many times that warranties on any crowdfunded products are specifically not transferable. And this specifically to discourage after market sales of the crowdfunded products.

Given the amount of angst this has caused already I think it is more than likely that the original owner will have to submit the rma.

Also what is the proof of purchase? The indiegogo receipt?

Please remember, everyone. transferable warranties in consumer electronics are very rare, especially in our price range. There's a common misunderstanding that if a product is never registered, that later it can be sold and the new owner can simply register it. But most manufacturers, including all the ones I've worked for, require proof of purchase from an authorized reseller.

Jriver is a notch up from foobar.

Guys try this.

It upsamples everything to DSD, let me know if it improves your SQ :)

It does slightly to me, but it also could be placebo. I've been doing that for awhile.

I have tried and tried and tried, but I can't blind A/B any of the digital modes.  I love my Infinity and it sounds amazing, but to my ears, all the digital modes sound the same.  I keep it on FTM just because...

I think the FTM is still in development as well as the SSM one. 
 
The others will really only shine through as apparent differences when you are actually using the types of songs that they do best with, otherwise the effects might not be as significant. FTM is the best of both worlds so to speak so if they all sound the same then use the one that is supposed to be the best of all of them, which is what you are using.

There's not a huge difference between the two modes, but it's noticeable enough that I can pick them up when A/B-ing.

I have 2 Geek Outs and I was listening to two headphone rigs (one with the STAX SRS-2170, the other was with a HE1000).

The HE1000 rig was previously setup and I noticed that the STAX rig sounded much brighter/harsher than it usually does. Indeed, the GO is automatically configured by default to the TCM mode and I find that mode to sound harsh compared to FRM mode (which is what the HE1000 rig had on).

From my experience:
  • TCM sounds harsher, has a smaller soundstage, better instrument separation
  • FRM sounds smooth, instrument separation is slightly blurred, and the soundstage opens up

As I mentioned earlier, FTM mode takes the best qualities of both from what I hear.

Don't you do a lot of YouTube videos?  You and a friend should make a video of you blind A/B-ing the different modes!  That would put a lot of the nay-sayers, who claim femto clocks are a total waste, in their place.  I don't have the ears for it.  Tinnitus FTL.
