dude, how many people have the GO450 and the GO1000? I haven't seen other posters other than myself who have compared the two side by side. 

The noise floor goes 100 (beta) < 450 < 1000. I've tried multiple units and this is the same for all of them. This is with a variety of IEMs, including both my UERMs and my JH-16s.

For me 450 > 1000 in terms of the noise floor. It so happens to be that more people with the 450 are discussing the background noise issue more so than 1000 owners.

My guess is that most of the people who opted for the 1000 are probably using it with full size and hard to drive headphone, while those who chose the 450 hoped it would be ideal for iems and easy to drive portable headphones.

My GO1000 has no noise with my JH16s.

Do you find it better than the Microstreamer?

Very nice photos.
 
Interesting you are serial #10, but it would appear you just received this unit.
 
I was Kickstarter backer #174 (or so), but received serial #296 way back in April (silver color GO1000).
 
I still feel I was shipped 122 spots later than I should have been, but I quickly forgot all about it once I heard the superb sound quality of this inexpensive unit.
 
That said, I did ask the question of LH Labs at that time, and I received a reply that said they were looking into it. But that was the end of the conversation, they never said why I got a serial # 122 spots higher than my backer #.
 
Water under the bridge at this point, but still a curiosity, especially seeing your unit is serial #10 in early August.

Thanks, @MikeyFresh. I cannot tell a lie...I have engaged in some serial number deception!

Oh, I see!
 
So NOT actually serial #10.
 
Thank you for the clarification, I guess I'll let my old curiosity about the serial #s vs shipment date die again!
 
Enjoy your GO1000, I like the look of what some folks are calling the "new" shade of red vs. the older slightly brighter red that Kickstarter backers received. It looks very nice in your photos despite some saying they don't care for it. I rather like the slightly darker deeper hue.

I use my GO1000 with IEMS all the time. It is overkill, but still works very well when your gain levels are set correctly.

Both are terrific. The GeekOut does PCM above the 96kHz sampling rate, and DSD64-128...so yes, better. The microStreamer will stay with the iPad, where it remains fabulous! These DACs are both tiny. Amazing. Love how the Class A GO gets toasty.

Any word on when they will release the volume fix?

I'm curious too.

My friend is borrowing the GO 1000 and pretty much hates the volume control in Windows due to the ear rape phenomenon.

 

[Poimandres]

Well I refuse to even use it before it has been fixed. I also wouldn't sell it before they release a fix. This will likely be my first and last geek/LH product.

I'm just enjoying mine using an Apple TV remote.
