Dude, it's coming next week. I wasn't even expecting to receive a notice as early as I did, but I received it Tuesday and it will be here tomorrow ! Be just a little more patient and you'll be just as surprised as me!!

that would be an awesomely unexpected surprise. Here's hoping !!

These sound amazing, but the battery charge out of the box ran out quick. Granted been using it for hours, but I am so used to using the V2 all day that I didn't realize the battery thing might be an issue.. I am contemplating exchanging it for a V2 infinity. Anyone know if those have the new components as well?

The V2+ infinity sounds freaking amazing, better to my ears than the V2 I have. Well done @Mannytorres
 @Larry Ho
  and gang. The battery is the only difference between the V2 Infinity and V2+ Infinity right?

Is there anyway to run the V2+ on USB power alone? 


Interesting observations Tamal. Can't wait to test out the V2+ Infinity myself :wink:

i was a little more sleepy than I figured, sorry for being so incomplete! I am saying the V2+ Infinity probably won't sound as good as my Signature Edition Pulse, but it should still be a major ass kicker! I couldn't sleep last night because the V2+ Infinity is being delivered today and the anticipation is killing me!!! I can't wait to test drive the Infinity myself!!! Hope this time I'm a lot clearer with this transmission, waiting for the mailman as we speak!! Good day friend!!!!!

​It'll sound quite good but not as good as your Pulse SE.  I have the Pulse X Infinity and the V2+ Infinity gets close but not quite as good.  For a battery powered portable, it's damn good though.

Wow. I can't believe people would think to compare V2+ infinity to Pulse infinity or even Pulse Signature. If that's the case, can't wait for my V2+ SE.

They are closer than you would think!

Although I don't have the Pulse I'm getting a bunch of other amp/dac combos in the range $250-500 in the near future for a project that I'm working on. Should be a good opportunity for some multi comparisons :)

Received my V2+ Infinity:
 
Tested it with Roxanne iem from JH Audio and a Silver Dragon cable from Moon Audio (balanced).  Sounds great!!!  So far, I have only used it with my computer because a cable for my Iphone will come from the other side of the World and take a couple of weeks to get here (cable with built in CCK chip). 
 
Balanced sounds way better than single-ended!!! 
 
Question:

Would the new AK70 work as source for the Geek Out V2?  Any other recommendations for source on that price range $500 to $700?  I know I can use my iPhone, but it doesn't have enough space and I was looking for something else.
 
Thanks!

Received my V2+ yesterday and finally plugged it up to my computer, listening in balanced mode, and all I can say is WOW!! This Infinity is so much fun to listen to. I can't remember a woman that's made me feel so good , so emotional WOW!!!

Tested the V2+ Infinity for hours and I believe the balanced output sound quality is as good as the Pulse X Infinity.  Loving it ... Now I have to figure out a good portable source for it ...  

PS.:  I do own one Pulse X Inifinity also ...

I've been loving my unit, but one thing that has been driving me nuts ... sometimes, when I first plug the V2+ in to my PC, it defaults to 100% and has nearly blown my ears off several times.  I feel like it could be damaging to both my easy-to-drive el-8s  AND to my ears.  I imagine this is just a driver fix ... but UGH my ears hurt!!!
