LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread
This is where I start getting confused by hi-fi. If the V2 is the DAC, then why would source matter? As long as the files are the same, the decoding into analog sound that we hear should be the same.- jandr272

I think it was that specific unit that was faulty. Bought a V2+ that has 2.1 and it works fine with my iPhone.- jandr272

Do you run SE or balanced? Got a V2+ infinity up for sale but the balanced out is bad. Didn’t want to risk sending it in for repairs so bought another V2.- jandr272

Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV
I don’t believe in burn in either but either the Vega or my brain burnt in... bass tightened and lessened in quantity and the treble became more tamed.- jandr272

Neutral bordering on warm Decent detail and stage Overly-smooth up top Slightly recessed mids Bass not super tight but not muddled Solid build although bulky in thickness I don’t see myself swapping...- jandr272

It seems like the DAC and iOS are arguing about the volume control. My V2+ is on 1.5 so no conflict. If I wasn’t able to return the GO2Pro I would’ve tried to flash to 1.5.- jandr272

I’m using that type of USB, I just forgot what it was called. What’s most weird is both the iPhone 6s and 7 were using the same version of iOS.- jandr272

2.1 My V2+ is on 1.5. I was tempted to flash the GO2pro to 1.5 but don’t want to void my ability to return it.- jandr272

LH Labs Geek Out v2+ Discussion Thread
I’m sending the GO2pro back to ALO; brand new and won’t work with my phone (iPhone 7) at all, and with my wife’s (iPhone 6s, same iOS version as mine tho) it has constant crackling and popping, like digital distortion. I listened to it for a while with my MacBook, it has more stage width but...- jandr272

Anybody having issues with iOS devices and GO2pro? It plays for a few seconds and then cuts out. It’s like the phone doesn’t want to recognize the device or let it take over volume control.... aggravating. iOS 11.1. Tidal or Apple Music do the same thing.- jandr272

i1, born for iPhone7, the first " MFi " headphone amplifier from FiiO
FiiO i1 - A swing and a miss I tested the FiiO i1 driving my Campfire Audio Vega IEM, that have a sensitivity of 102db/mW and impedance of 17.5ohms, from an iPhone 6S and iPad Air 2. Comparisons were only A/B as far as how quickly I could change the cable from the headphone port to the i1...- jandr272

Is there a way to quantify portable DAC/amp performance compared to smartphones with IEM?
I understand a portable amp would be necessary with harder to drive headphones; however, with my CA Vega I'm not noticing any difference between Fiio i1 and iPhone 6s directly. Maybe there is something, but it's as likely to be a slight bump in volume more than anything else. Is there a way to...- jandr272

i1, born for iPhone7, the first " MFi " headphone amplifier from FiiO
I'll have mine Monday. I still intend to pick up a Nextdrive Spectra once they have Apple approval for a lightning version; they told me they had applied and were waiting on approval. It'll be fun to compare the two. Maybe I'll pick up a Nexum Aqua and have a 3-way trial and review. Are...- jandr272

Campfire Audio Vega (and Dorado and Lyra II) - Head-Fi TV
I will say the Vega change a lot after 100ish hours of burn-in. The bass is much more controlled, mids warm up just slightly, and all treble harshness smooths out. I was very close to returning them but gave them a few more days and maybe it is placebo, but they seemed to really settle in finally.- jandr272
