That seems to jibe with subjective impressions myself and others had about different sounding units when cold. Nice data.

Keep the drivers on hand for that to remove and reinstall if that happens.

Pain in the neck. But more important, is it not class-compliant, at least for lower sample rates?

If not, then that is big-black-marker through the name for us Linux users --- whether it sounds good or not.

Pretty sure it is, worked perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro right off with no drivers.

Edit: huh, just read what you wrote in your GO100 thread, the 1000 I tried in Tokyo back in April worked fine with no drivers on my mac.

Just want to add that the slightly excessive warmth of the geekout 1000 disappeared after a few weeks of use.
