The manual says to make sure you do NOT have your earphones in when you press play.

Didn't have the manual :(. On the bright side I didn't use earphones, just regular cans...

Still, IMO documenting this "feature" in the manual is probably not sufficient. Less than 16 ohm cutetips and cans will likely experience the full power of the dark side.

... God forbid one has them in cuz one forgot :-0

That image of Marty getting his ass blown across the room shares my sentiments when I had the GO 450.  It's the only USB DAC that I know of that behaves like that.  After owning it the second time around, thinking "I'll be sure to not have my iem/ciem plugged in, and/or manually lower the volume (WIN machine) prior to plug in" it was the only time my boys heard me yell, "F#$!", and my ears were ringing on/off for hours after those incidents.

I hope that once LH gets off their "pie in the sky" aggressive approach to their crowd funding projects, which IMO has been half-baked with no end in site.  Then maybe I'll pick up another GO once they fix that infamous lethal and deafening volume feature.

Hopefully Mike can check the new F/W and confirm this "feature" has been "improved".

Interested by your thoughts on the GO  popcorn.

Just came across their introduction post for the Geek Source on CA and my first thought was: who the hell to these guys think they are? Making such high claim as the BEST SOURCE and a more than suspicious product comparison (with the yet-to-be-release Aries and a stock Mac Mini using itunes...).

I'm open to hear all comments!
