LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

[musicheaven]

It's not censored, it's just that it's getting old and frankly I have heard it all and to be honest it's getting tiring to see people bashing a vendor. There are a few recourses one can take, for example avoid them if you really feel strongly about it. How would you feel if someone would constantly bash you in public? If you want to do something, do something constructive; give those guys your thoughts, according to you, how you feel they should run their business but be respectful and stop tongue lashing. Other than that, I am interested in the Go V2, can't wait to see how it'll perform, that's for me why I subscribed to this thread.

People's concerns with LHs business and marketing decisions have been well documented in this thread. It is time to move on...

@chartwell85 has larry locked down which battery he will use for V2+? User replaceable??

Just want to say this prot

I seriously lol'd at the impressions, thanks for the laugh

They say the V2 is shipping, but is the V2+ shipping as well?
 
I originally backed the Geek Stream, so I'm hoping I get the V2+ before people who pre-ordered. If not, that would be a huge slap in the face.

Brace your face for a slappin'

  @sahmen  I have no idea to be honest. Some impressions have the v2 as much better. When the first firmware update was released for the original, it became something I'd be more inclined to recommend than a O2/ODAC rig, due to what seems to be far better engineering and sound quality. I had a serious conversation with them at CanJam SoCal about all the issues they've had with their campaigns, so if the result of everything is that they've got their production together to the same degree they've got their engineering together then I'm all for getting one myself.

Thanks.  I also have the GO 1000, and am intrigued by the GO v2, but I think I can wait until they're released and widely reviewed before deciding whether to take the plunge or not.  This is mostly because I would like to avoid the headaches and uncertainties surrounding the much discussed pre-ordering process.

Of course you will get it before them. PCBs are ready. We are finalizing the 3D printed chassis. Almost there... And don't laugh, they are finalizing the user manual too. Packing will come in next week. (So basically I'm the lucky one who only need to worry the things "on board")
 
Cheers,

Awesome! I love my GO1000, so I can only imagine how good the v2+ will be while connected to my phone.

Aw

Awesome.
... oh wait, you already knew that

Wonderful to see you here Larry: you can be proud of V2. I'm looking forward to seeing my V2+.
 
Could you please put the pin-outs of the TRRS (etc) into the User Manual, as a number of us will need to cable up to headphone connectors?
Regards

This. (And great first post!)

Same than the Wave

I would like to see a Geek Out V2 vs Apogee Groove, these are two top notch DAC\amp, for about the same price.

 

[Lceaucx]

Has anyone actually got their shipping notice for the Geek out v2 or v2 infinity yet? They say they've begun shipping, but I wonder how many units have actually gone out?

What are the advantages of getting the GO V2+ version instead of the V2?  I know that the V2 is battery powered, but what advantages come with that? My GO 1000 runs okay without any battery, and that is why I'm trying to understand the advantages of having the battery--especially the sonic advantages. Will the V2+ necessarily sound better than the V2?
