So I recently was forced to upgrade the app and firmware to latest versions and after a few hours of faffing about, i am now back online with Roon and I have two, reformatted SD cards full of music that the 2go can read and Rigelian is able to control. I am about to go on my first holiday in 18...

Also I noticed a new problem with my unit since leaving it permanently plugged in. Whenever I listen to it, after switching it off, the on/off switch glows bright white, which I believe means it’s recharging? I have to cover the unit with a book or something otherwise its like having a light on...

The fact that you say there are no problems while also saying that you have to reconnect the app every time shows how low are expectations are for the Hugo2go. Can you imagine saying: “Yep, I have no issues with my new iPhone, well, except for having to re-enter my apartment wifi password every...

Your issues sound exactly like mine. I tried everything over about 9 months but in the end just gave up and relegated the unit to my bedroom where it can be connected via ethernet. Every single other roon endpoint on by gigabit wifi mesh network worked seamlessly 100% of the time and I can...

I’ve been away a while so may have missed it but was there ever a solution to the pops and clicks issue? I never had an issue when using exclusively over WiFi but after months of crappy connection issues I bought another dac for my main room and ran Ethernet cable to both that and my Hugo2go...

Having not read through all 1200+ posts, is there a consensus on the best balanced cable upgrade? I recently got an amp with an XLR output and would like to try it out for an sq improvement. The main options at 3m length seem to be the Tonecraft for $380 or the official Final silver for $780...

Cheers, I tried a couple of Nordost cables in the £400 to £600 range and honestly couldn't hear a difference obver the stock. Maybe its my hearing. I guess I could try some sort of power conditioner if I were able to return it. I'm happy to spend on anything I can hear. My dealer has offered me...

I've had my HD800S pair for over a year now and love them as a backup pair for classical, some ambient and metal, where I mainly use my Final D8000 for electronic and rock/ pop. I have recently got an amp that offers a balanced XLR option, so am thinking of trying this with the Sennnheisers. Is...

New Bartok owner here. Loving the sound and having pored through the entire thread I have a couple of questions: 1) Are there any upgrades that are considered essential? I tried a couple of audiophile power cables but couldn’t hear any difference so sent them back. I also haven’t bothered with...

Great comments as always Steve thanks. dCS main system and DAVE backup..? Not jealous at all...

Thanks a bunch. You are indeed right that I am looking into how to listen when I am not connected via wifi. When I am at home, I am exclusively listening via Roon and I got fed up with the awful wifi connectivity and so installed Ethernet cable at my three most used listening points for the 50%...

Is there a guide anywhere on how to simply play from SD cards? The only way I can figure out is to set Hotspot mode with Gofigure, then connect my iPhone to the 2go’s WiFi network and then pick an album with Rigelian. This seems a massive faff and I am then unable to use my phone for anything...

I don’t know whether to apply for dev status or just give up. for the fhird day in a row now I’m listening to Roon direct from my iPad As the 2go will only play 2 seconds of any track before complaining of connection issues and skipping. Of course, the iPad that I use as a remote then flawlessly...

This 1000 times! My exact suspicion is that the wifi chip is the cheap one referenced earlier in the thread and basically nopes out as soon as the wifi connection becomes less than perfect, where more modern wifi chips (in our phones, laptops, tablets etc) are fully capable of maintaining a...

My connection remains garbage but once it’s playing, I hardly ever get pops and clicks. 95% roon, 5% SD card

I get what you‘re saying but don’t you think the premise is absurd? If your phone/ iPad/ laptop etc all connect seamlessly throughout your apartment, even when the 4 bars drop to 3 or even 2, why should the $1000 high end streamer have problems? Can you imagine if thousands of apple customers...

What an odd comment, why on earth would I be disappointed that your unit works well? That’s great for you. I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding my point. I don’t think that a crap WiFi chip means that 100% of users would have problems, if that were the case, it would never have made it...

Mine runs incredibly hot if I listen and charge at the same time. I’ve had it switch itself off once or twice and so now I listen at day and charge at night

Yeah, but I don’t though, unless the faulty hardware is the WiFi Chip in the 2go. As I have mentioned in multiple posts, I have zero issues streaming via tidal, Roon or Netflix 4K to either my tv, iPad or laptop anywhere in my apartment. The only unit I have ever had connectivity issues with is...

Well lucky you I guess, but reading the comments of the vast majority of users here and on the two other sites I frequent, (plus my own experience), the WiFi capability of the 2go is totally crap. And we asked them to confirm the specific chip, that shouldn’t be too hard. If it really is that...

Without meaning to be facetious, why would anyone, EVER buy a chord product for its streaming capability? DAC quality, obviously yes, but doesn’t the 2go/2you combo mean you get none of Chord’s musicality and all of their crappy connectivity problems? Am I missing something? Is anyone here...

Did we ever hear back from chord to confirm or deny the allegation that the WiFi chip in the 2go is bargain basement? I’ve been away a few weeks so might have missed it. I seem to have found a solid fix for when I lose connection; if I connect and listen to music briefly via ethernet, then...

Are people sure that the connectivity issues are a roon problem? I can use an ipad or laptop as a roon endpoint and never have an issue, in fact its what I resort to every time my 2go starts disconnecting. The ONLY unit I own that continually has connection issues is the 2go

Exactly, we don't know. Because nobody from Chord will come here and confirm the specifics of the chip. Then we could stop the armchair speculation.... Well, I guess congratulations that you live in perfect lab conditions, but what about the rest of us in the real world? Has there EVER been a...

No, I don't think you have. If these connectivity issues are due to roon buffering issues, i will eat my 2go... I get exactly the same connectivity issues when trying to stream from Tidal. I imagine Chord are currently trying to come up with multiple, plausible-sounding reasons why their...
