Comparison to the Mojo? I only ask because I see you have both. I had the mojo before, but it has recessed treble and a smaller defined soundstage. I got balanced cables and am waiting for my GOV2+ to arrive. I don't have the mojo at hand, but I am thinking about just repurchasing one because I miss its sound.
I also own both the Mojo and the GOV2+ and love both. They're quite different things, both in use-case and sound. The Mojo is more of a Swiss-Army knife in terms of inputs, while the GOV2+ is only USB. That might matter to you, it might not. The SQ of the two are also very, very good, but differ in their presentation. I could live with either, but luckily I have both. Sometimes I like the Mojo, and sometimes I like the GOV2+. You can't go wrong with either IMHO. Cheers
I have a question that I haven't got a user based answer to after going over 31 pages of this thread (there was some mention in the beginning but I wanted a real life users answer):
How have you guys been using the V2+ day to day? I heard from someone who used to have one that it wasn't practical using it for extended hours because the battery would run out.. he said that usb chargers weren't good enough to charge up the v2+ while running and they would just slow down the speed of the battery draining out. Also you needed to remember to turn it off else it would be dead in the morning
Is this true? That kinda sucks because if the battery was low and I was listening to something I wouldn't want it to just die and then I'd have to wait an hour or so for it to charge to a useable point..

It is true to me ... I use it all day, but I have to turn it off when I got to bed so it is re-charged in the morning. As mentioned before, if you just keep it plugged in with two USB cables (one to charge and one for the audio), after about 10 hours it completely shutdown. At that point even the charge light goes off and I have to disconnect and reconnect the charge cable.
But, if you remember to shut it down (whey not using) and turn it back one when you are ... It does work fine ...
I have been using the above as a temporary solution until the day I receive my V2 Infinity (no batteries) that I've sent to be upgraded by LH Labs (probably another eternity). The sound quality on balanced with my Fostex TH900 is so good that I have no issues with the workaround.

It also helps to keep a battery pack with you! I'm using a Ravpower 20100 with quick charge from the Turbo Series and I have no problems at all, especially when I added the Drok USB tester to measure the current. It insures my battery a long life with the added protection of my V2+ Infinity!! I hope I'm helping you by my response!
@perdigao - thats a bit sad.. they should have made it like the regular v2 which I'm guessing just works off USB power when plugged into a computer/USB charger. do they have a charge level indicator on it atleast?
@runningwitit - hmm, fast charging is a possibility but it will drop the life of the device significantly over time so I'm not going to rely on that, even with an extra device to monitor the current/voltage because I probably wont be at my desk all the time while it charges.. but thanks for the information!
i decided to upgrade to a v2+ infinity and got it this past weekend.
the sound out of the balanced output is phenomenal with JH13prov2 iem.
i compared to single ended output using a short trrs-trs adapter cable and the balanced output simply outclasses the single ended output
this is my new travel system........now i need a business trip to check it out some more
this is a winner, now that it is FINALLY here.
i empathize with the frustrations of the long wait (and i had another iteration with a bad output jack), but i think the lesson is that if you want to live on the (b)leading edge, you have to expect some sanguinary accidents along the way.
i was not waiting for this as part of my main listening setup, and had an acceptable alternate for travel (and as a happy owner of a BHSE which is the core of my main headphone setup, i can assure you that this is far from the longest wait i've had).
it is probably a good idea to wait until commercial release if you can't tolerate the ups/downs/delays of pre-production or new be-spoke product lines.
I am sick of lh labs. They keep promising delivery dates with tickets and never follow up. They make so many empty promises and send out annoying emails promoting more products. More upgrades still.the last update, They told me 3 weeks ago they would ship my unit....i am so glad i didnt hop on any campaigns. This ready to go "Go V2+" product is delayed over a year. I have no desire to even try this product and i hope they refund me. Just unacceptable.

Bad news, they're absolutely never going to give you a refund :-/
The ads are funny, eh? They're already WAY up schiit creak with most clients, but still they toss out the hook. But hey, it's not like things can get much worse for them and I suppose they look at it like "at least we might rope one of two of them suckers again, so let's try!"...
So you can buy the GO V2+ from lhlabs website........my mistake for hopping on funding campaign thinking I would get it before it goes on sale. Opened another ticket....no response.
I have a brand new Geek Out 2A Infinity that will not be recognized by any of the 3 USB ports on my brand new ASUS Q304UA-BBI laptop. I have also tried my Geek Out 450 and got the same exact results. I am unsure at this point if it is a hardware or software issue. I have never encountered this on any of the 7 other computers I've used the Geek Outs on. Can anyone look at the screenshots and tell me what may be happening? I opened up a ticket with LH Labs as well.
I disabled the on-board sound, installed the Geek Out V2 drivers from their site, and plug in the units. Sometimes it will load (on each) and say the V 1.5 software on the screen....then after it loads, nothing happens.
When you enter the Playback Devices/Sound Manager, the Geek Out is not even listed.
Above was for the 450....Below is for the Infinity 2A.

Have you tried the 3.26 LH Labs driver? http://lhlabs.com/downloads/Drivers/LightHarmonic_DriverSetup_v3.26.0.exe
Nevermind. I didn't look at all your screen shots. I see you are already using version 3.26 drivers.
If the driver signing is not working (as in your first screen shot), then the driver will not work unless you manually disable driver signature enforcement or find a driver that is digitally signed.
The other day my Pulse Infinity DAC could not make a connection to my Android TV Box. Tried connecting it to my smartphone and it works. So the fault was in the Android Box.
Maybe your laptop does not supply enough power to the ports? Try connecting it to a powered hub if you have.

Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so much. That was a HORRIBLE experience but I got everything fixed now! Thank you again!
Just so everyone knows, it's an issue with the Windows 10 Anniversary update. Once it's fixed, it works. For some reason, my other two laptops and my desktop had no issue (but the software was already installed before the update). This was a brand new install of Windows 10 with all updated drivers, etc. so it didn't make it through before "the gate closed", so to speak.
