Geek Pulse: Geek desktop DAC/AMP by Light Harmonics

  Did anybody ever measure the idle power consumption of the Pulse with or without an LPS? Because of the temperature I'm hesitant to keep it turned on all the time.
 
(btw: My XFI came in this week, ordered in November 2014. Loving the sound with my Jays Audio LPS-25VA and HE-560 balanced so far.)

How is Jay's Audio LPS? :D I wanted it but on one is selling it, used preferred.

The LPS is working fine, starts off at 12.03V and falls to 12.0V after around 15 min of warm up on the Pulse and LPS. Don't really know what more to say. It looks and feels very nice!

Ah, I don't want to say it but Alvin did not help me with his LPS. This is why I am looking for a used model and not asking him to build me one. 
 
There are several LPS available on eBay, do you mind to suggest one just as good as this one?

IF you are in europe try this: http://www.audiophonics.fr/en/hi-fi-power-supply/linear-power-supply-double-2x-12v-2a-p-10252.html

Practically the same as Jays Audio.

I have read elsewhere of the iPower failing after a few weeks powering the Pulse, as it is running very close to its rated limit which it does not seem to like.

I am using a Jay's Audio LPS and like it a lot. I have not compared it to any other power supply, not even the stock switcher that comes with the Pulse so I cannot report any comparisons.

J.P.

Audio issue here:
 
Is anyone experiencing short dropouts of sound while playing music?
It's like if someone presses very very fast pause and play, as in a fraction of a second. It's very annoying. I'm mostly in safe mode so it happens less, and in low latency mode it happens a lot (both with the geek out and Pulse Sfi)
What I really want to do, Is to get to the source of the problem and being able to play in very low latency mode, of course :)
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks

Do you have Windows 10? 
I've had dropouts as well with my geek out v2 especially with Tidal on Win10. Turns out it was because of my antivirus, once that was stopped everything was normal.

I use Windows 7 Enterprise (Work Laptop) but I have the same issue with my Win10 Home Desktop. Thought it might be an issue with settings, or USB performance or something like this. 
Both PCs are very strong performer, especially the home desktop...

Your November 2014 order was filled? I'm waiting on a Pulse X Infinity from December 22, 2013.

I had the same surprise and because of this I am done with LH labs. I ordered the Yggy yesterday and now I am listening to it.
I will make sure to post all the negative reviews I can on all the websites I find that sells LH labes gear. I will suggest the same to all my friends who are waiting for their gear as most of them have gone in a different direction and purchased something else.
At this point I am happy to have something else. My Geek Out 1000 and V2 have had problems and I don't think the Infinity would do any better if it would have arrived. Too bad I spent money of an LPS which I no longer need.
