Could a cable issue. Is it a balanced cable? Just wanted to make sure. Cheers

Ok.  I'm going to bring this up again because I am SO damn pissed and other people can potentially get hurt.  The f'ing gov2+ ONCE AGAIN loaded up on 100% and blew my ears and my headphones.  I've NEVER been exposed to that kind of volume and I'm a freaking DJ.  Now my ears actually hurt.  This is irresponsibly dangerous.

Be careful out there.

  So it turns out I got a V2+ and they did upgrade the opamps inside, so I flashed the firmware provided to me and it is now a V2+ Infinity.
 
Sounds a little bit better than my 1 year old one too. Great piece of gear.

Wait ... so the upgrade to Infinity was a matter of a firmware upgrade???

What device is this with? It maybe due to your device since the GOV2 volume is controlled by the host (for instance Windows always remembers the volume I leave it at).

GOV2+ w/ Windows.  no enhancements.  It USUALLY remembers the volume.  But this last time (and a few others), it started up at 100%.  I'm surprised my ears aren't actually bleeding right now...

Yikes that might be worse than if it never did that because at least it would never be a surprise.
 
I guess I learned this lesson a long time ago with other gear so I have the habit of not putting my headphones on until they are plugged in and music is playing... still have mishaps every now and again though.

Did you plug it into a different USB port than the last port (which had the volume turned down) ?

SE sounds crystal clear but balanced even though with a wider soundstage, sounds muffled. using manufacturer cables from sennheiser for hd800.

No such problems with balanced output on either my regular V2 or my regular 2A. I would try some different cables.

Most likely yes.  I have a surface pro 4 and I needed to have access to more than one port so I used a hub.  I OFTEN use a hub with the gov2+.  Same hub as always.

the thing is ... when in doubt ... do NOT put the thing up at 100%!!!!  That seems like a negligence lawsuit waiting to happen.
 
 
edit:  I just plugged in again.  Different port, same hub.  This time it remembered the previous volume.

As a precaution, always plug in the DAC before u plug in your earphones/headphones.

My take on the LH Labs Geek Out V2+ Infinity:

So what differentiates the V2+ from the V2+ signature edition, apart from color?  Are there any noticeable SQ differences between the two?

Good question ... Was wondering the same thing  And how much are they asking for those units? 

 

[doggiemom]

Still waiting for my V2+ Infinity. 

  My pledge was for the Audeze EL-8 bundle.  The headphones were only shipped once I logged a ticket........ I saw on the comments that someone from Dubai had already received his months earlier, so I contacted support.  I hope they don't forget about me (again).
