LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread

[RedJohn456]

  The microphone I'm getting works when plugged into a USB port on the PS4.
 
Does the V2 have optical in? If so, that might be the route I go. I have a thread in the introduction forum for newbies here like me.

no optical input on the V2

Gavin just sent out an update with a couple of photos of the new v2+ chassis. He seemed quite pleased with it. I am holding my comments as to me the pictures may not be the best.

My opinion?  No comments yet, because he says this is not the final finish.  If I have understood him correctly, it might wind up finally with the same finish as the Vi DAC pictured below:
 

 
Fingers still firmly crossed.

Not sure.  I just reproduced the photo Gavin circulated

Definitely an improvement. Hope it ships very soon.

Well, now it looks like a portable radio from the '90s, an improvement for sure. Perhaps the better finish will bring the product opticaly in the '10s.

It's certainly an improvement, but with all the drama over the case and with details of the revision already delayed, I'd have hoped for better pictures. Hopefully we'll see a more representative image with the final finish soon.

That looks awesome.

both pictures of the vi dac show the same finish, it's just different lighting making it look slightly darker in the 2nd picture.. (I think)

Great point and could indeed be the case. Cheers

Hope it ends up looking like that. Man hifi was so slow, until in the past few days..........so many announcements. Uncola how your geekout v2 pairing with the he560? I'm excited to pair my v2+ with it when it comes, but wanted to hear from someone who is already trying the pair.

It sounds great with he560. Just make sure to get the balanced cable as the balanced output sounds better compared to single ended.
