LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

[Decommo]

Does anyone have any hint what the retail price of GO2A would be like when it becomes available to public?

I've been told it was going to be around a similar price to what the GoV2 was.

I see. What was the price of GOV2? I cannot find it from website somehow..

Last time I remember, it was about 249USD for basic and around 350USD for Infinity

The last price of the Geek Out V2 was $299. It sold for a while for $249 at Audio Advisor but it has recently been selling for the $299 there as well. I was also told by Manny that the Geek Out V2a would be around the same price that the Geek Out V2 had been ($299) and that LH Labs might continue to sell the V2 at a reduced price (in the manner it continued to sell the Geek Out 1000 until a short time ago). However, this is what I was told 2.5 months ago so things could change.

Should be getting the 2A Infinity on Friday. I'm selling my friend the original 2A for $200 because he won't be able to get a street version for another 4 weeks or whatever. And I guess I don't *need* 2 of them.

 

[fullranger]

He's getting a good deal.

yeah, we don't try to get rich off each other if we sell each other gear. haha The $200 just essentially covers my Infinity cost.

Just a heads up - if anyone tries to install the Geek Out software/drivers AFTER they get the Windows 10 Anniversary update (1607 update), IT WILL NOT WORK.
 
From the other Geek Out thread:
 
"....the driver will not work unless you manually disable driver signature enforcement or find a driver that is digitally signed."
 
"Yes, the Windows version 1607 "Anniversary" update basically shut the door on unsigned or improperly signed drivers. If the driver was installed before the 1607 update, then I think they will still work. Also, properly signed drivers with dates that were signed before Windows 10 should also install fine even with the 1607 update.
The only reason I know all this is that our Out Of Your Head software uses two drivers and we used to be able to sign our own drivers. Now we can't. We had to upgrade to a much more expensive code signing certificate and then we have to send our driver to Microsoft for approval and they have to sign our drivers. I bet a lot of manufacturers are getting caught "off guard" with this major change in driver signing."

Just put down an order for one of the gov2a signature editions with Larry Ho DNA built in. Despite some of their other products having delays, the go450 and original gov2 are some of my favorite audio purchases and were both great values. And the gov2 proved to me DACs can have major differences even if they all measure flat(good differences in the gov2 case). I'll definitely unbox it for you guys. Dunno if it will come in a fancy box

And a review, please. I have a custom built GO 1000 in the mail right now (production unit #2). Curious to hear it, especially since Larry supposedly said it's better than the GO V2.

Is your custom geek out 1000 a signature edition? Curious if Larry asked you what headphones you have to customize it or if the signature editions all get the same upgrades

According to the seller on Ebay, he purchased the unit he's sending me directly from Larry - it was production unit # 2 that was handbuilt by him. Then on top of that, the purchaser sent it in for a noise floor reduction upgrade, so he says that Larry said it's better than the GO V2. I don't know and I don't have anything to prove/disprove him. It was $125 so I took the chance and took him at his word. The seller said it's just an earlier version of the GO 1000 Signature Edition.

Is it too late to send in the gov2 for upgrade?
