This is truly a magnificent little device. The sound is crisp and very alive. I listen to chillout/chillstep music typically, some very experimental sounding music. Currently I'm listening to Gravity by ChouChou and it's like being transported to another space entirely. The music envelops the entire headphone space, the bass is rich, the mids are present but not overpowering, the treble is perfect and crisp, everything works together evenly to create a rich atmosphere of sonic goodness.
The only thing I'd have concern about is the heat, when plugged in this can get rather hot. If it's elevated on a cooler surface that helps tremendously. Testing out 'Moon City' by Atlum Schema next. I've been using FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files. Extreme clarity. As a producer myself this will be interesting to use. Might test out my song 'People Will Do People Things' and see how that sounds through the GeekOut as well. It's like hearing with new ears. I've been using an X-Fi GoPro HD for quite awhile because my headphone jack died, there was a lot to be desired but it allowed me basic listening.
The GeekOut is immersive and intense. Be careful though, mind the warning in the package about volume. The Super Duper Geek will blast you out of your chair if you make a mistake with it. I pushed one of the buttons on the side of the device and the volume lunged in intensity. Well worth the wait. I'm glad the driver issue was resolved in a timely manner also.
Edit: Listening to my track currently and it definitely emphasizes all that I put into it as far as detail goes. Nothing gets lost in the mix, just flows steadily. The bass is quite rich and expanding. When the kick hits it's as if it moves outwards, something I didn't notice or couldn't notice with my former setup. Attaching this as well for those who may want to listen.
Αυτός ήταν μάλλον ένας από τους τυχερούς backers που είχαν συμμετάσχει από τον Αύγουστο. Εγώ που έκανα προπαραγγελία τον Οκτώβριο μάλλον θα περιμένω κάνα δυό μήνες ακόμα.
Το μηχανάκι είναι και μίνι θερμοφόρα από ότι φαίνεται, και το παραδέχεται και ο Gavin Fish
Regarding heat: Yes, Geek Out gets hot. It won't burn you, but it gets nice a toasty. I guess we could have compromised and designed a less powerful amp. Or we could have gone class D. But we wanted it to sound the best it could, so this sucker has a full class A amp.
Is it green? Um, no. But it sounds amazing. So, I guess we did compromise.
