Ready to geek out, literally? Check out Larry describing, in detail, the PCB design aspects of the new Geek Out V2.

I can't say it's a capability that I have ever thought I needed but it's great that Larry is pushing things forward with V2

It's not attributed to the GO V2 at all though, it's a separate DAC.

It sounds like the PS Audio DirectStream DAC in function without the need of special software.

Really? There is a tab for it on the V2 marketplace page...

To me the page is making it seem like PureDSD is some kind of new communication standard intended to improve DSD playback and that it won't be limited to just the GO V2.
 
I haven't visited LH Labs since noon PDT so I don't know anything beyond what I glanced on the page.

Oh never mind, I misinterpreted it. Yeah it looks to be a new protocol/interface for streaming DSD music to the DAC.

You are right.
 
This is a new protocol standard that we could like to share with other software and DAC partners. Not only limited to GO V2. I would love to see that implemented in Geek Pulse, Vi, Geek Wave too...
But one step, one product at one time.
 
The major theme here is:   How to make whole DSD setup process easier, and how to remove all unnecessary waste of bandwidth by improving the current DoP.
 
Thanks,

There's a GO V2 SE.
 
Seriously, if my GO SE had both a single ended and a balanced output I think it'd be my perfect portable DAC. I have balanced headphones and balanced amps that could be fed from a balanced GO. And if I understand it correctly the GO V2 SE will be less expensive than the GO SE; that's a win-win for people who missed out the first time around.

 
Well... I got the balanced output input mostly from you and two other geek force.
 
It's not easy. But we did it.

Have to echo AxelCloris-the GO SE is just a fabulous sounding little imp of gear, only sorry it isn't balanced, but not worth springing for another when this one sounds so good. Have compared to other gear, more "real" sounding, more body to instruments, more.....goodness.
If it is still available, and you can spring for it, the V2 SE (if it is anything like V1) is a great little amp/dac.

Yes Geek Out referrals have begun to ship as well, along with Pulses.

The Pulse referrals have started shipping or the GO referrals are just shipping with backed Pulses?

Almost hit the button!!

Selling like hotcakes..
