Sorry

@Adrian0115 
I have that over expensive Pulse SE and it is recognised by PC/Mac/ Android only after I power cycle it once. I dont trust these guys to send it back to repair from Europe because I dont think that I will see the unit back again so I have to live with it.  There is no way that this unit was as Larry promissed carefully tuned and tested. They have put some Cardas connectors in and overpiced a nomal infity, at least they could make the minimal effort to test it for that premium price. About the SQ : it sounds lifeless, artificial a real "digital " sound, exactly the contrary of what they have advertised.  I had to buy another Dac, the Chord 2qute, at the half of the price that I have payed for the SE and there a change like night and day: the Chord have a analog beautifull sound and worth every penny.
Let say it by the name, these guys are crooks and we have been cheated. 

Sorry you don't like your SE, but I simply love mine! You should send it in for repair, they have an AVERAGE two week turnaround!

Post some pictures of it! I'd like to see some internals, see if anything is different, though I guess there won't be any names eye differences

Anyone got their Pulse Infinity recently? I had my shipping date of W2 June confirmed, but I'm still yet to receive it.

Don't hold your breath. I have 2.5 years and counting. My delivery estimate was a year ago.

Now my pulse needs multiple reboots to connect with Windows? Anyone else in the same boat?

Did you recently changed something in your windows machine?

Mine has been working fine with a Mac. Have the latest firmware installed.
I have considered a Revive or other USB bandaid. The Infinity sounds a lot better using the AES input. All my other dacs have FW buss. That sounds better than the coax input on them.
May just switch back to using a FW connected unit instead of "fixing" the USB. I thought USB had gotten a lot better.

Is it hard to open up the V2 case? I would like to see the mu-metal shields over the Femto clocks and take a video of the naked resistors.

Super easy.

1. Loosen the side panel screws first
2. Then remove the magnetic top panel
3. Then unscrew the top side panel screws on both sides
4a. Then unscrew the bottom screws on the back
4b. Make sure to suction cup/stick grip your hand to the metal lid as you unscrew the last screws or else the lid/metal top panel will fall into the component. It's not heavy, but no need to let that happen if you know it will.

Post up some pics if you open it, always fun to see actual gear pics vs. staged/marketing ones. Even if I already own it

I only had this when I turned on the Pulse before the power supply (LPS in my case), turning on the LPS first and the Pulse after solved that problem for me.

Try just disconnecting/reconnecting the USB cable from your PC . I don't think you need the shut it down, somehow when you turn on the unit and you PC is already on, the Pulse seems to need a handshake from the PC USB port. If you start the computer and the Pulse is already on, it gets the appropriate handshake from the PC and then no need to disconnect.

Hope this helps

I use the LPS4 too but still needs multiple reboots to start. Windows and Linux don't see it until then.

Speaking of LPSs ... mine blew the fuse!  Could anyone confirm the value?  1A @ 250V .... slow burn?
Any online recommendations?

I bought 100 F1AL250v fuses off of eBay for $4.50 when my LPS4 melted the board (didn't know that at the time).

I'll write up my impressions later, but I slightly prefer the iDAC-6 over the Pulse X Infinity+LPS. The AK4490 implementation in this DAC makes the 9018AQ2M Sabre glare pretty apparent when compared next to one another. They're both really good DACs though, among the best I've heard in my years of this hobby.

sabre glare?!
