[Archimago]

Got my Geek Out V2 standard edition last week... A few initial impressions:

So far, an enjoyable DAC. Nice power, sound pretty accurate, plastic enclosure not too hot to the touch.

Seems like the GO V2 has the potential to be great. I'm just hoping they do something with the casing issues...they're mentioned in every review.

nice little review Archimago.  good to see the packaging.  Hope I get a shipping notice soon

Received mine today.  Have had it going fooling around for 30 minutes or so.
 
Nicely packaged.  Definitely noticed the manufacturing smell that Archimago mentioned.
 
The lettering in the case is tough to see at most angles, but isn't really important as the power/filter are easy enough to figure out if as you go along.
 
Looking forward to getting Teds Head lounge balanced cable for my first balanced experience.

Just read through the V2+ thread.  Have to say the seems much better to me than people are reporting in that thread.  The material doesn't photograph great.  And I take back my comment about the lettering on the case being tough to read, as that was just lighting in my room.

It might just be the photo, but that casing looks quite a bit better than the ones on the previous prototypes I've seen.

Just received mine today.  I saw some of the photos in the other other thread that definitely looked pretty terrible.  It's definitely a product that can look worse depending on light and angles (the resin has a reflective quality to it).

I just took that with my phone listening in bed, but I think it looks very good.

A local friend has the GO V2 and it's pretty much kept in a pocket for transport.........there's so much dust in/on it that it's kind of gross.

That looks much better than my V2+ Infinity casing, which may be a prototype after all.
 
On your case, the letters are clearly visible. On mine they aren't.

Seems like more of a quality control issue than anything.

LH labs notified me that my GOV2 shipped today. I was one of the last people to get in on the Indidegogo capaign at the end of june.
 
Hope some people have aftermarket cases in the works... Doesn't look all that great, and the dust issue could be a pain..

hmm I preordered before the indiegogo campaign.. and one batch 22 guy got his shipping notice.. makes me feel bad as a batch 21 preorder but oh well.  maybe they are shipping by geographical area instead of exact batch #

Could you kindly provide a link to the cable, if one is available? Thanks.

I was the batch 22 guy.  When did you actually pay in the indiegogo campaign?  They didn't mention anything about whether that would come into play or not, but my guess is the batch thing was a big crock.
