Actually my favourite part was the “100% delivered” and “Shipping complete” sections which shows LH Labs has 100% delivered most things - including the Geek Pulse I’m still awaiting.

Agreed. Nothing like avoiding saying years behind and over-committed and then showing a graph that has false information as part of a new communication plan.

And what's with hosting an image of the doc on Instagram? I'll admit it's much better than using YouTube like they did in the last wave update, but they do realise they have a website of their own, right?

Actually, given the frequency with which anyone from lhLabs posts there, maybe they have actually forgotten it exists...

Due to the “expense of maintaining a website” (and the fact that you can retrieve data off it to remind you of what perks you purchased 3 years ago), all LH Labs communications will henceforth take place in Snapchat.

I love how with every update the shipment dates are just one or two months away. I'm close of 4 years of waiting on the damn Pulse

Perhaps a step in the right direction. Now let's see if it leads to actually resolving some of the serious problems people are having.

One tiny good thing, LH Labs ticket service is no longer blocking my account.
Wooppee, I can ask them again about my undelivered Pulse Infinity and LPS.

This has been the biggest headache of my hi-fi life.

 

[Ebonyzer]

Does anyone know if the Pulse Xfi has balanced DAC-only output? If I wanted to use the DAC portion but route that to another amplifier, can that be done? I apologize, I'm not super up on all routing particulars or best practices. I figure I probably don't want the amp coloring the sound though if I want the DAC signal going to a different amp.

Yes, it does. I'm using my Pulse Infinity as the DAC with a Cavalli Liquid Carbon (v1) as the amp right now, with XLR line-level connections between the two.

How's the sound?

 

[Ebonyzer]

So the RCA out and the XLR out are both line-level? The manual makes it sounds like the RCA is line level but is unclear on the two XLR left and right outputs on the back.

I ask specifically cause I'm interested in that Massdrop Liquid Carbon X and wanted to know if the Pulse Xfi would be a suitable DAC for it. Do you dig that combo? Any other info or take on all that?

 

[snip3r77]

Yes, it does. I'm using my Pulse Infinity as the DAC with a Cavalli Liquid Carbon (v1) as the amp right now, with XLR line-level connections between the two.

How is the synergy? I'm tempted to get the Massdrop LC-X and I'd be using it with the LCD-X.
Will it provide some warmth to the DAC? Thanks

 

[wingsounds13]

Yes, the RCA and XLR output on the back are both line level outputs. Better yet, they each have their own output buffers so you can use both at the same time with no ill effects or interaction. One caveat is that the volume control affects the line outputs the same as it does the headphone outputs, however, the headphone amp gain selection does not affect the line outs.

I rather like the sound of my Geek Pulse X infinity and would highly recommend this DAC for the sound quality, HOWEVER... I don't recommend any Geek Pulse because of their less than excellent reliability record, or any LH Labs product because of the poor management and business practices of LH Labs, and their potential longevity (for servicing products that do fail in the future). Perhaps the business will turn around with their new communication person Jarek and (hopefully) the release and shipment of the Source and Waves.

+1 loving the Liquid carbon with my XFI - but would never recommend this DAC because of the issues J.P. mentions above.

Considering to combo it with my geek infinity also. How doesn't LC differs from geek xfi amp portion ? Does it add some warmth and also enhances the bass slam ?
