I'll based it on the LH Control Panel Output Volume slider: mine is between -20 to -15.
 
System volume on my PC don't reflect the exact volume.

Anyone have the max output voltage (p - p) on this?

Anyone used GO450 with iphone 7? Can it run directly with the CCK?

I was under the impression that you needed a Y style cable to also connect some power source like a battery, the iPhone alone wouldn't power the GO.

That's correct Doc, the GO450 draws too much juice.
 
The iPhone's firmware prevents it from giving up any more than 99mA from it's own battery to power an external device. The GO450 needs much more than that, so in addition to the CCK you also need a y-split USB cable and an external 5v power source, typically a battery but it can also be an AC powered plug-in type power source if the intended use case isn't a mobile one.
 
A battery is quieter/better, excepting maybe the iFi iPower 5v, or any good quality 5v LPS.

Ah damn... it's just going to be too bulky. There's always a compromise. 
 
Would've been pretty smart by LH to offer one version that will work straight out of the lightning jack.

Isn't that what the V2+ is?

Oh, ok so V2+ does work out of the Lightning jack? 
 
(The question really would be, which of the GO do ... ?)

 

[doctorjazz]

It should (it has its own rechargeable battery, doesn't need to draw power from the phone). At least, that's what I think. I have the V1 Signature Edition...

What do the x2, x4 and x8 signs mean?

  What do the x2, x4 and x8 signs mean?

Base rate is PCM 44.1 or 48. These are multiples indicating higher resolution audio. For DSD base rate is 64 times 44.1, so double DSD is DSD128.

 

[CEE TEE]

Yes, at the moment- only the GO V2+ (Regular, Infinity, Special Edition) versions with batteries work directly out of the lightning port.  They supply their own power to the DAC and Amp sections, so they don't draw power out of the iPhone and trigger a notification.

It seems as if this EM1000 isn't even sold anymore.

Did anyone compare the geek out 1000 with the dragonfly red ? I didn't find anything in this thread. I currently have the dfr but the geek out is the exact same price and I still have time to send back the dfr so... a comparison between these two would really help

I tested the Black vs the 450. The 450 and 1000 are fairly similar. The 450 came out ahead of the Black. I'm going to guess the 1000 will have better body, tonality and engagement factor. I'm going to guess the Red will have better soundstage and detail retrieval (by a little bit).
