Looking forward to getting my second run LC for use with the Pulse X Infinity and eventual Vi Tube DAC SE.

Yep, the Pulse X Infinity is great with the LC. 
 
And I'm a little spoiled right now as I just got a Liquid Gold to play with for a while!

Lucky you!  I wish i had the cash flow to get a Liquid Gold but I don't so the LC will have to do and I'm sure it will do just fine.

Not exactly what you are looking for But I run the HE1000 on an Infinity and love it.

Thanks OneGuy, I am not familiar with Inifinity but I guess it has same power output as Pulse Xfi only the ESS dac is newer so guess Pulse Xfi should be able to drive HE1000, just one more clarification, are you runing via SE or Balanced XLR connector. At what volume you listen do you need to switch to high gain or not. 
 
Thanks.

Nigel,

I run it with an XLR connector. Typical volume levels are in the mid to high 30 range on high gain. I have one song that requires low/mid 20's.

Anybody have problems with their infinity under Windows 10? After changing the input source or power cycle, the computer sees the infinity but simply cannot play any sound. I'll have to power cycle multiple times or change the USB port until it works. I guess this is "drop out"?
It was fine few months ago so I wasn't sure if it has something to do with infinity or some stupid Windows 10 update.
 
Thanks.

I use foobar2000 with wasapi. The ASIO driver gives me trouble at times. Wasapi works great.

Thanks, I was indeed using ASIO, however youtube wont playback either(the video just freeze at the beginning). I'll try the infinity with my mac tomorrow.
 
EDIT: Just tried with my mac, it can also be recognized but it won't play back any sound,
I've even reverted the BIOS of my PC still the same.
TBH Pulse is probably the most unreliable audio product I've ever used.

Tried my Infinity with W10 in Kernel Streaming months ago. Forgot if I tried also in ASIO, but anyway it worked. Don't liked the sound though, too "liquid". Its like having a high-res picture with too much noise reduction.   
 
Never touched F2K for a long time, too complicated for my m45tur84t3d mind.
 
As regards to HW problems on GP,  they did have many many problems on a batch.
 
Glad mine is trouble free. Having bliss time thru my 4K Android Box (http://www.futeko.com/products/MP068.php). Using Neutron MP or HibyMusic, it has better SQ when using my PC.
