Nope...Larry hasn't posted anything since Tuesday regarding the firmware or Windows 8 drivers.

Darn, I actually use my GOs with Mac mainly.  I want the physical volume controls, I use them with the lid closed and don't have to open the laptop.  Also use the 3D on/off too.
 
Won't upgrade the FW if I lose that functionality.  (Would like to hear the new FW though._
 
Totally understand the needs can be different between users.  Maybe have more than one version of the FW available?  That would be a pain, I know...

Actually Larry was proposing to maintain the current functions for Mac and the revised one for Windows.

Read post #1188. The Mac will have the volume functions intact

I think that is the way Larry was leaning but he seemed open to suggestions still.. haha or at least that is what people think since they are posting suggestions

Since the update should be release soon, I don't feel the need to keep posting about the volume/software issues (and haven't for a while, you must have seen a post from earlier) until we see the replacement firmware in the field. If it is still a problem, THEN I'll still feel it is appropriate in this, the SE thread, the LH thread, all of which relate to Geek Out and the firmware IMO. But, I'm certainly ready to let it rest for now, see what the update brings.

Are you defining soon based on the Webster dictionary or LH Labs definition

  Man.  This Geek Out 450 is seriously good.  I love my HD600 out of it. With the 3D. HD800 and UERM are great with the 450 too, for the most part...
 

 
CeeTee,
 
Do you still use the GO with your HD 600? I'm considering purchasing an HD 600 to pair with my GO 720.  I'm currently using the GO as my desktop DAC, and its 47 ohm port is connected to my studio monitors.  Is the .47 ohm port adequate for driving the 600's?  Which port do you use?

 

[doctorjazz]

I have used HD650 with GO1k, sounds great!

Thanks.  Do you remember which port you used - the 47 ohm or the .47 ohm? 

 

[doctorjazz]

I've tried both, both sound good, believe I mostly used 47, can try it again if I get some free time.

Hi,
 
We have a lengthy discussion for the new firmware release. 
 
And I think we follow Geek Force's suggestions:
 
We will change the buttons feature from volume control to 3D on/off and digital filter switching. 
 
So there will be no confusion....
 
Cheers,
 
Larry

Sounds nice, but when is the release? (;
