Desktop mode does not display battery status. Normally this is not an issue since desktop mode should maintain the battery. But on my unit desktop mode does not always do so. If you experience a shutdown in desktop mode, disconnect the charger and check battery status. If the light is Red, the...

Yes, implementing an interpolator on the PC is of course possible and actually straightforward. A 256 million tap filter for higher 24 bit accuracy would be possible also. But most likely not in real-time, so interpolations would be saved as Flac files for later replay. Unknown is the filter...

David Bruce's The Shadow of the Blackbird, world premier May 2011 James Matheson’s Windows, world premier May 2017 on this album Bruce Levingston: Windows, Sono Luminus, DXD 352.8kHz 24 bit Playing and engineering at a high standard

IMO a top class Chopin recital. Navis Classics 2017 DSD64.

Glass's structures, played by Levingston at a high standard.

Something similar: with the charger plugged in and H2 left powered on for several weeks, H2 turns off by itself. I discovered that the battery was completely exhausted (blinking red lights) after disconnecting the charger and turning on H2. I don't understand what is going on. I suppose either...

Really good Franck piano and violin sonata.

This seems like a good way to differentiate them. Mine measure 1.9" and 2.2". So if the opening width measures noticeably over 2" then it is an Auteur pad.

The heat with the device left on while not playing is as expected. Chord claims Hugo 2 battery capacity is 20Wh. Hence with a 7 hour play time, power consumption works out to about 3W. Rob Watts in his post claims 2W with the device left on, which is not significantly less than 3W. So heat...

Rob Watts' post here indicates that leaving the charger plugged in AND HUGO 2 ALWAYS TURNED ON optimizes battery life. "It will be in desktop mode as long as the charger is connected. If you turn Hugo 2 off, then it will charge the battery to 100%, then turn off the charger. Normally, you would...

My experience differs. When in desktop mode after multiple hours of listening, turning it off causes the charge light to illuminate for several hours. This is exactly what desktop mode is designed to avoid.
