Cool, I didn't see that in settings. I have JRIVER19...actually paid for20, but haven't gotten around to upgrading it on my PC

Does this unit work well with HTC Desire 816 cell phone??

This might be somewhat of a strange pairing, but I tried the Geek Out 450 in FRM mode paired with an Apex Glacier which I managed to get my hands on a for a while, and the pairing was really impressive.

The synergy was extremely good, and the sound out of my UE10Pros (a rather neutral CIEM) was very engaging. It retains the 'tubey' signature and dynamic edge of the Geek Out 450, while adding in the superb transients and expansive soundstage of the Glacier. I'm not sure how to describe it better, but the GO has a rather thick note presentation, which brings forth texture and instrument timbre nicely. The Glacier by itself is very sharp and fast sounding, with minimal decay, and what many term as excellent PRaT. With these two characteristics combined, the synergy is really really good.
 
This pairing works exceptionally well with EDM, rock, or any fast and heavy genres, but it might be a little too edgy for more placid genres such as classical or house music. Perhaps GO owners with the Glacier might want to give this pairing a shot.
 
The GO pairs better with the Glacier than either the O2 (doesn't really add anything) or the Portaphile 627 (a bit too slow and blunt) for my liking.
 
Anyway, that's just my two cents. YMMV. Cheers!

News for others like myself who are on the fence about the Geek Out stuff: HRT has a new product on the way, supposedly in the same vein as this and the microstreamer, that packs a bit more of a punch power-wise...I love my microstreamer for IEMs and my DT770 32s, so personally I'm holding off until I see what they've got cooking...

I'm looking to trade my GO 1000 for a 450 if anyone is interested. Please PM me!

I'm sadly gonna have to part with the Apex Glacier soon, but here's some pics of the GO450 + Glacier combo while I still have it with me. I attached the two of them together using some 3M dual lock. Put some rubber feet on the bottom of the glacier to prevent additional scratching. And to my surprise, the Glacier + GO450 fits nicely into the neoprene case snugly, with enough room in the slot in compartment to put in the USB extender and 3.5mm interconnect as well. This would be a pretty awesome lightweight and low profile pseudo-desktop setup. What's even better is you can simply peel off the Glacier to use as a portable DAC/Amp by itself and reattach it to the GO450 whenever you return. Neat!

Anyone got the GO720 and 1000 ? Do you think 720 not enough for LCD-2 and modded Fostex T50RP ?

 

[NinjaHamster]

The Go450 seems to pwer my LCD2.2's just fine. The Go1000 might be better (never tried it), but the 450 is more than adequate.

Have you tested a lollipop Android cellphone with Geek Out 1000?
If it worked, can you tell us what cellphone you're using??
I'd love to be able to use geek out with a cellphone. My current cellphone is HTC Desire 816.

Just tested the GO1000 on my Oneplus One with a 5.0 alpha build. WORKS! WITHOUT UAPP!

First time it ever worked on android, and it sounds awesome!

No external battery needed either! Incredibly awesome.

It almost eliminates the need for a Geek Stream, so hopefully they bump up the SQ for that model.

 

[bhazard]

Scratch that, it works for awhile, but the LEDs dim and eventually error after 10 min or so with no y split attached battery.

The GO450 and 100 might not have this issue.

Cool. I'm thinking about buying that tablet!
Does it work well without an external battery?
How many hours of music can it play with Geek Out??
I think it comes with Android 4.0. Do you have to update it to 5.0 manually?
