I pity the people who would buy any of their products! Let only I be the one sucker for all!

I mean, from what I've heard, the people with Da Vinci are very happy with theirs. YMMV shrug

I would also assume that most of the people who are looking for Da Vinci would only hang out in the Summit Fi forum, not the regular forum.

Just sad all around. I have the Pulse X that seem to be working okay most of the time. However, from time to time it will take several reboots for it to lock on to any USB digital signal and not emitting very loud static noise. It does sound nice however with my HD800.

Of course, of course, we are not enough wealthy to hang out in the summit fi forum. Poor us, the suckers who got this company called LH Labs rolling. Little did we know that we were the big fat juicy suckers who were deceived into bankrolling this awesome summit fi DA VINCI, the END GAME, the MOTHER of audiophilia!!! Poor us! A few thousands of our hard-earned money won't give us access to that summit fi DA VINCI! What were we thinking! And yet the LH Labs minion raves about the summit fi DA VINCI meanwhile how many of us suckers didn't get their low-end product, the Pulse after only a few years of wait? See we can build this AWESOME da vinci, yet we can't get the low-end pulse right! A little respect for the suckers who got you your job and Larry Ho his nice vacation home, please! That AWESOME DA VINCI!!!!

I wanted to add to this. The Pulse is a sweet sounding DAC/AMP. My Pulse X Infinity drives my HD600 balanced beautifully. It does sound better than my OG Geek Out 450 (I bought in fully into LH Labs)

I also have had issues with USB connection loss. It seems there is an issue with it although intermittent. I usually never turn it off and the connection losses seem to be very few and far between. I would have bitched about it a lot more had this been a retail product, but nope! It’s Indiegogo campaign and you get what you get.

Sad that there is still people waiting for their units. I hope they get their products soon and without issue. It is a pretty good unit although with all the new stuff available today, there is a lot more competition plus the discounted group buys from Drop.com.... hard to say how the Pulse fares against them in price/performance

back to the GO450, it is rock solid though.

Someone asked a question I can answer here:

Three or four weeks back there were a couple of updates showing the latest version of the Vi DAC Tube which, except for tubes, appeared to be fully assembled.
Was that a fully working model and if so has production and shipping commenced? If not, can you please advise why there is further delay?
Also, I note that the model shown was branded "Light Harmonic". Will those that are shipped to backers be branded "Light Harmonic"? No drama, just curious.

Good questions. Since LH Labs is basically not funded at this point by crowdfunding, any remaining LH Labs product will probably be shipped as Light Harmonic products/branding. It may vary by model/unit/campaign, but that's essentially the plan at this point. Yes, the model is a fully working unit which should theoretically be finished early next week. Tests will be done on these early models, and then the rest of the units will be produced and shipped.

Ok Stuck Limo, time to ask again: when are our Pulse Infinity and LPS orders arriving?
A rhetorical question, of course. Because from time to time LH Labs still gives assurances about delivery of outstanding orders, but nothing happens.
I would prefer if you had the courage and honesty to tell us the truth - that delivery won't happen.
It's been lie upon lie, starting in 2013 when we placed our original orders. LH labs is a company that took our money, is totally inept, and deserves to be rebuked by the entire audio community.

My Geek Pulse Xfi recently stopped working. Whenever I turn it on, there is a loud constant spinning sound. It is audible even without plugging in headphones. I can choose it as an output in Windows 10, but it doesn't work. I am hoping that it is a simple wiring issue, and I can get any headfi repair specialist to fix it
