in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I have a silver Geek Out 450 that I don't use very much. Everything is functional. I had purchased it for use while traveling but I find that my i-devices are not able to power it. It works very well for desktop use.

Asking $150 shipped (pp charges extra)

    I have the 1000 geek out. For thoes who do not know this unit, it is a good sounding class A amp ( yes it will get warm but it is supposed to) and does DSD! The dac and everyting is the same as my 1000. This is a solid unit and I thought sounded better then the AQ dragonfly. I use this daily at work!

    @usp1 if you want it to be powered from your I device, check the v2 version. I think that one might.

    Folks this thing is a Class A headphone amp as well as one heck of a dac for the money. Again it will do DSD as well just about anything else you throw at it. I use mine 4-5 days a week at work.

    @EndersShadow It can be plugged into your computer at work! Or does the office not allow you to do so?

    Lol... Yeah I'd get fired lol..


    We deal with a LOT of sensitive information and as I'm in charge of IT I'm well aware of the dont's :smile: Don't #2 is plug in a non approved device into a computer. Last person that did the second the computer registered the device it shut down all USB ports within seconds and also in the bios so even a reboot wouldn't allow the mouse, keyboard or printer to work and the computer basically went dead and had to be replaced.

    And my laptop died or I'd bring it in and use it on that lol...

    So free bump for a great unit I almost went in on the kickstart for.
