Glad to see they dropped the 1980's decorative "V" on the front panel - slight whiff of Van Halen.
Not only that, but it reeks of a lawsuit from V-Moda

NinjaHamster, thanks for digging that up for me. I tried searching and couldn't find anything… but of course, I will feel a lot better when the LHS folks update the web pages to reflect exactly where things are at, maybe even including a final decision around the XLR, mini XLR, RCA and headphone jacks. Either way, this Pulse looks very interesting and is currently the front runner for me, though I am still considering Emotiva Stealth dc-1, Yulong D18 and Schiit Bitfrost/Asgard2 as contenders… need to make up my mind soon.
Just learned that Geek Pulse has three (3) TCXO clocks:
We will have 3X clock inside Geek Pulse as well. Still TCXO in very good grade. Made in Japan.

Usually there is one clock for multiples of 44.1 and 48 kHz respectively. Not sure why there would be three though, but I'm sure we'll get an explanation about that eventually.
Larry Ho commented on the lhlabs forum the following:
For Geek Pulse Balance, I think mono-mono ES9018K-2M will be even better.
ES9018 is a nice chip, but need quite a lot (or could I say too much) dedicated care for power supply and analog stage.
The overall implementation especially analog stage will occupy too much space for Geek Pulse.
Again, don't judge the performance by SNR or THD or DR numbers only. ES9018M sounds very good to me after some good tweaks.
Cheers
Larry
