LH Labs Geek Out v2 Discussion Thread

[uncola]

just asked Ghent Audio if they'll make me a 3.5mm trrs to 4pin female xlr cable.. let's see what they say  I sent them the pinout jpeg from this thread.  ordering in anticipation of my go v2 shipping soon!  
edit: nope they don't have 3.5mm trrs.
edit 2:  decided to just get a hifiman to 3.5mm trrs cable from a seller on aliexpress.  this seller said they can do trrs, just add a message when buying it

Impressions? What was the issue with the first unit?

I actually did take a few pics in the other V2+ thread. No impressions yet because it was defective and wouldn't turn on. The casing is a big step down compared to the V1.
 
The RMA process has been pretty smooth though. Should have it back in a week or so.

Oh ok @bhazard I did see that thread. I guess I was looking for some type of improvement in the casing. I'd like to get a V2+.

the casing , the jack came loose internally. I had the he 560 with a long adapter straight out initially. that could have contributed to the problem. ive put it on a dongle to reduce the pressure. the case is not as solid as the v1. the sound is an improvement. its more powerful than the 450 I have so it has a more effortless presentation, bigger bass more relaxed treble. im not really doing side by side comparisons as im burning it in. this one seems to be louder than the 1st was. so it may have been faulty at the start. but it sounded great as it burned in.

Got my shipping notice for the v2. Waiting on the extender
