Depends on the adapter. There should be a way to enter pairing mode either with a button or software. My BTD600 and BT-W5 use the button. No PIN is needed.

I can enter pairing mode on my BT adapter. How do I enter pairing mode on the Hugo 2? Does your adapter connect to Hugo 2 automatically after the adapter enters pairing mode? Thanks.

You switch the Hugo to BT mode. What have you tried so far?

Entered the pairing mode and nothing happens. Maybe my BT 5.0 adapter isn't backward compatible with Hugo 2's 2.1. Gonna get a new one that explicitly says compatible with 2.1.

You have to manually enter the pairing code of 0000 to achieve the Bluetooth connection with Hugo 2.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure about this. Maybe others can help. What specific BT adapter are you using?

I'm wondering, if I have a Hugo2 should I go for the 2go or SOTM SMS 200 Ultra? I never stream, I have all my music on a MicroSD card. Which one would yield better sonic performance? I already have the SOTM dedicated power supply ready with the cable arrangements. I just basically need to buy the SMS200 ultra and insert it into the chain. Or, I can spring for the 2go if it performs better as a source. Wonder if anyone has experience with these two models? Mobility is not an issue for me, I'm perfectly fine with a stationary set-up, if the Sotm combo would yield better results than the 2go.

No idea about the main question.

I personally find the Hugo2 needs a little EQ to compensate for its innate playback.

Some reducing of the late airy treble extension it has. And a midbass boost for a more punchy sound.

So I would vote for the stationary setup that allows for that.

Can anyone explain 3V RMS line level mode, please? I took my Hugo 2 for a test. The guy had an EQ with plenty (too much) of bass on his computer, and Hugo started clipping like crazy. At first, we thought it was the headphones, but the clipping was purely digital. I had no idea what to do, but I remembered 3V RMS line level mode, so I restarted the device while holding the Crossfeed button, and the clipping went away. I still have no idea what happened.

The 3V RMS output is the default analog output of H2, if you set it as such, and HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DIGITAL CLIPPING.
Music power levels are at max, in bass frequencies. This means if one is to EQ bass up, he must also implement at least same level of preamp cut, or the music clips digitally.
i.e. bass EQed at +6db, then you must implement -6dB before EQing, or else! at higher frequencies, there is a natural overload tolerances.
UNLESS! the system has builtin overload capability, such as Mojo2. On Mojo2, you can slide any tone control to max. and not suffer digital overload.

just to understand the situation better, were you already in fixed 3v mode or normal mode when it clipped ? in case of the latter, what level were you at ?
