Yes, Wave will have the 3D printed case.  For those with the Titanium and Carbon Fibre perk, last I had heard they were looking for a way integrate a back panel for that. I haven't kept up on their own forum since the change over, so I'm not sure if that is still the plan.

Btw, updates and word is that isn't the case. Heh. Wave will NOT be 3D printed like the Geek Out.

I saw that. Casey, on HF, had originally said they would be a few months back. I suppose this is good news, based on V2 case feedback. Hopefully we see and hear the final product this year.

awesome update on the v2+ case: apparently they are adding alu plates to the top and bottom to address some of the "concerns" about vomit inducing 3D printing issues.

Well isn't that nice if you ordered a v2+. I haven't had much time to do additional testing, but overall I like it. I'll be using it as a travel dac/amp for the most part probably. They really need to either find someone else to do the 3d printed case or just go with plastic.

Great news, regardless of the ugliness or flimsiness of the chassis, there's something wrong with that many vents exposing the PCB of a product that will likely be inside someone's pocket.

This is my biggest concern. Portable things tend to get near dirt, lint and water. For example your phone probably has had contact with all three multiple times. Something in my pocket should have similar protection. I'm hopeful this is resolved with the aluminum cases. I'm glad to hear LH Labs is listening to us here.

Thought I'd throw this here so that it's easy to find for search purposes.

The Pinout for the various relevant 3.5mm TRRS Balanced plugs/interconnects are as follows:

Geek Out: L+, R+, L-, R-
HiFiMan: L+, R+, L-, R-
Oppo: L+, R+, L-, R-

All good, right? One more:

Red Wine Audio (for RWAK units): L+, L-, R+, R-

Make sure not to buy any of the last one or else you're going to waste money and potentially damage your shit.

I have a conundrum. My GOV2 is significantly louder (more power?) when playing from my windows laptop than it is from my macbook pro. Both are playing from Roon. I don't recall this being an issue with my GO450, but I may just not have noticed it at that point. From the macbook pro, 75% volume with high gain from the SE plug is comfortable, whereas I can't turn it up past 30% or so on the windows machine.

What might be causing this?

Thats weird because macs have some juice from their usb. I mean for example they can charge an ipad air while most laptops can't. I don't know if that directly relates to this though.
