I backed Geek Pulse, Geek Wave, and Geek Stream. Does anyone else here feel like the LH Labs team has just stolen our money and won't deliver anything?
There haven't been any meaningful updates for weeks, and they must be way behind schedule and not owning up to the problems they are having.

Man, I hope nobody feels like we've stolen your money!  We haven't, in fact, done that.  And while I agree that communication was lacking in the beginning due to the shear work load, I think we've given meaningful updates quite often, including just yesterday (thanks for pointing that out,  m-i-c-k-e-y).
 
If you ever have a concern that you want to talk to us about, please feel free to open a trouble ticket.  Manny & Carlos have a < 1 business day response rate, and if they have any issues that they feel they can't address themselves, they bring them to Larry and me.

I had a HifiMeDiy sabre U2 DAC it is a great dac, sadly it's not working any more (device not recognized).
 
thinking of buying Geek out 720 or 1000 but i saw the audio-gd NFB-11
 
any recommendations?

GO's SQ is way way better and can do DSD and its portable.

Draw back right now is a volume bug on its buttons (which they are fixing right now thru firmware)

PS:
Well you're asking on a Geek Out thread....

 

[Poimandres]

There are plenty of cost effective dacs out there, that function they way that they are supposed to. Personally I would wait until the issues are fixed before purchasing one.

SQ is subjective and we all hear things differently. DSD is also subjective.

Have you looked at the stoner acoustics if you only require a dac? The new 120 is getting really positive feedback and is only 79 shipped, I just purchased one a few days ago and I am eager to receive it.

actually i asked on both threads.
 
portability is not a main concern, audio gd can do DSD

Last two points are really big --- 3.5 uV is very small, about as small as my Concero HP, though the GO SE is quite expensive, is it not?

Okay so I finally decided to try the geekout 450 even before the volume issue has been corrected.  I do get noticeable noise with my JH13 FP's when there is no music playing, once the music is playing unless there is complete silence in the track you or if you focus on trying to hear it you would be hard pressed to notice it.  Unfortunately it seems to be all I can focus on especially in live albums.  Does anyone else with JH13's notice the noise or is it possibly a defective 450?  Generally speaking I can only set the playback level to 9 from within windows, it would be nice to have more room on the slide before it gets too loud.  I cannot imagine having this thing blast my ears, at 9 it is almost too loud.....I could only imagine 100.  It is a shame because the dac sonically is sound.

I still have open tickets from months ago that were never resolved. Maybe everyone else is cool with maybe getting a product at some time in the future, but I have lost all confidence in the LH team. It's a shame, because I fully bought into the hype.
Now I just have a lot of money gone, nothing for it, and no response to multiple tickets. Good job!

OK, I have put in tickets up the wazoo about various issues over the past few months. I'm hoping that the new software update solves the volume problem, which is a BIG DEAL as far as I am concerned...can't afford to lose hearing. I had an issue where I would plug into a Vaunix powered USB hub, JRiver would crash and I couldn't use GO1K on it unless I rebooted the computer. No help from you guys (I got an email from Manny to send pertinent information, version Windows, etc the standard, then never heard back. Repeated the process a number of times, same exact sequence of events. I contacted the Vaunix people, helped me solve the problem in no time). If people are worried about their investments (substantial, in my and many other investor's case), it's things like this that have brought it on. I haven't felt as "out in the woods" with a purchase as this in quite a while. I still have issues, posted on the Signature GO post, get a moderator who tells me not to post here, I guess he didn't want to see anything but "happy, expectant posts" about the upcoming unit, which I'm afraid will give me the same problems as the GO1K, since software seems to be the same, as far as I can tell. At least if I post here, people try to help.
So far, love the sound, but the experience has been a definite negative...(to add a positive note, listening to Senn 650 through it now, Guster's great "Lost and Gone" album, almost makes up for the agida)

Moderator? You mean me - a purchaser of the SE (NOT a mod and thread starter) - who politely asked you to keep the thread on-topic and suggested starting threads in the appropraite sections (with links provided) to get visibility rather than trolling and posting about volume, bugs, drivers, and customer service in an unrelated product thread for a product that isn't even out yet. Seriously??? And people wonder why things are hard to find....
 
Regarding your issue...get in on the new driver beta.

I agree with Junker on this. The posts on the SE thread should be relevant to the SE. Customer service issues, general driver and firmware issues and GO 1000 hardware issues should be posted in the proper place, no matter what forums you may happen to be on at the time. I'd prefer to see that thread stay on the topic of the GO SE. As a future owner when the tread updates I feel a little excitement and wind up disappointed when it turns out to be another complaint about known issues. Those shouldn't be happening in a thread where the device is still in production. They have support sub-forums open for that very reason.
 
You can email info@lightharmonic.com to get access to the beta firmware if you desire. Larry has mentioned that access will be given to those who request it on Tuesday.

Also, JRiver has a support forum that may help with figuring out why your JRMC isn't releasing exclusive rights.
