LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread

[flashmp3]

Very frustrating to have the guys creating a best and not able to get it........I got a ibasso D14 yesterday and this thing is so big !! The geekout V2 and V2+ are just amazing when you see how much power they managed to put in a such slim case

Can't help but notice that the Wave isn't on that list...

Not the Wave thread, feel free to vent your frustrations there

He he he.... your humor consoles me...

Haha, you're right! I honed in on the incomplete Vi DAC PCB, which means some serious delays are still in order there. I didn't even clue in to the total lack of Wave info. Then again, none of the non-DAC component info is listed. Still, I dodged a bullet there. Luckily they went totally off base with the Wave campaign right before I pulled the trigger. I guess their scrambling saved my wallet. Then the continued scrambled sort of shot out the V2+, nice again
 
One thing I worry about the chassis updating is that they'll go with too much aluminum. My GO 1000 *was* a space heater. It got so hot I couldn't touch it. Now it doesn't work after 1 year of normal use. I figure it fried itself. Since the V2+ has similar power output and thus draw, I hope they've found a way to somehow combat the heat, improve component longevity, and make a nice (not sh!tty plastic) case.
 
Super pumped to find out as the sonic feedback continues to be stellar.

the production bar still says all V2+ shipped by October (presumably the end).
 
i'm flying east coast to phoenix and back at the end of October so I hope that happens.

Might not want to hang your hat on those shipping estimates if you use history as a guide...

odds are good that i'll have to take my V2 out of the car system, and kluge up a Y OTG+power cable and Anker battery.......much messier

Doubtful, when I raised a ticket they were estimating more like November and only October in the most optimistic scenario. Nothing about their history inspires optimism for me!

December, or even January is a far safer bet.

They said they would show the case, but they never update backers.....I guess they ran into a wall

There's a bit of a transition going on currently in LHL's outward facing roles, so we might encounter a little longer delay than usual in responses on such things...

There is a new (brief) update on IGG;
 
"Dear Backers,
 
Just want you to know, we complete all the PCB board tests with your Geek Out V2+  and we are quite happy about the results. In next few days, Gavin will send the actually pictures of new Geek Out V2+ chassis. If every QC goes well, we will go full speed for chassis production and start shipping.
Stay tuned.
 
Larry"
