My Revive got delivered today.. This is replacing a schiit wyrd. With the wyrd, I have to re-insert my geek out 450 every time I turn on the wyrd or it doesn't get recognized. Another issue with the wyrd, it seemed like it didn't have enough current for the GOV2 in balanced headphone amp use.. gov2 would malfunction connectred to the wyrd when I used balanced headphones with dynamic music and loud volume. I assume this won't have that issue since it's direct from lh labs. The revive is also cool because of the auto turn on feature. Also it lets me use my fancy 5V LPS. So far I have a hard time telling the differences, it seems pretty subtle. But music with the revive instead of the wyrd seems less harsh and there's less grain. There's no noise when I move my mouse around just like when I use the wyrd. There is a mouse mosquito noise when I use my geek out 450 directly with no wyrd or revive in the chain on the noisy usb port near the laptop's power input socket. So it seems to be working great. The Revive metal case is pretty nice, I love the soundwave pattern on it. I have a prebuilt Soekris dac coming soon which I'll be using with this.
