So if I bought an adapter with UK plug and eu socket to match the ipower x eu adapter I could use it the right way up and avoid the strain on the cable?

My ipower x sounds very nice with my Auralic Aries Mini. The only thing that is spoiling it is the fact that the UK adapter means it’s upside down. The cable is sticking up in the air! Surely this is a design fault?

In terms of the better use of my time I did actually contact Chord direct to let them have my views on what I see as an unsatisfactory product and missed opportunity. One reason I like Chord is their support team are very good. Ed Selley sent this reply and has kindly agreed to my posting it...

Apologies to anyone put out by my post except John Franks of course! One of his two appearances here was in response to the wordplay so I couldn't resist using it to express my exasperation at the 2Go/2yu offering as a desktop 'solution'. I was keenly anticipating the advent of a Chord desktop...

Surely you mean John Franksenstein? Someone who uses spare parts to cobble together something horrific which is doomed to failure. I think 2Yu needs a new lexicon. Product concept - 0Clu Pricing policy - 2DuU Product delays - 2Qu Software issues - BuHu Initial assessment - DuDu Marks out of...

I'm glad to see@Mojoideas enjoying the banter. Perhaps he would be kind enough to enlighten us on the following:- Hugo2 owners have naturally welcomed the 2Go. The 2Go/2Yu connoction seems to have receiced a universally tepid response (over-priced, wires in 3 directions and a set of control...

Completely agree. Re the last point a 'standard' set up these days is router/NAS/switch/streamer/DAC. That is before you've added a reclocker, USB purifier and upsampler for improved sound quality. That's a lot of signal processing and it's explains why I'm happy to keep my Auralic Aries Mini...

I don't even use my MojoPoly outside of the house as I think it's too bulky. It drives active Genelecs in the kitchen diner. For mobile use I prefer a Fiio BTR3 with loseless HWA. It's a fraction of the MojoPoly size

Having worked so hard on the Poly it would seem to be a no brainer to capitalise on it by producing a 2Go for Hugo2 and a standalone streamer for the rest of the market. Then just wait for the cash to roll in. Instead they cobble up an overpriced, half baked , Heath Robinson connoction. Let's...

I was hoping for a desktop streamer to match my Qutest case so I'm unimpressed with the the clumsy 2YuGo offering. The 2Go has similar functionality to the Poly but is twice the price. I'm paying for a battery I don't need which will inevitably fail in time. Will 2Go continue to operate on...

And presumably not for the weather! I assume 2go is a given but no use to us Mojopoly users. I'm hoping for a matching desktop streamer for my Qutest. My friendly Chord dealer is voting for an upmarket version with mscaler. Having sweated blood over Poly it would be nice roll out the...

Thanks. Any suggestions gratefully received. I've e-mailed Tom at Chord to see if they have had issues from Poly users with mesh routers so I can cancel the order if need be. I assume they have amassed a fair bit of feedback by now! I use an Auralic Aries Mini with SSD as my source so no...

I decided to replace my old Tp-link router (£25) to try and avoid drop-outs. I asked Tom at Chord if they had any recommendations for routers. He declined saying that they are keen for Poly to work with all systems which is understandable but not very heplful. I then ordered a Netgear Orbi so...

Thanks for this. It was getting fairly unpleasant. I can empathise with people's frustrations. I'm on my second Poly. There were major drop-out problems on the first. Chord said it was probably the network so I bought a £30 Google Chromecast to disprove this and it was much more robust...

I find the whole power supply issue fascinating. When I decided to use my Hugo in the main system I bought a £150 Liv(now Innuos) Wave (Cubox based) streamer. It came with a switch mode power supply. I upgraded to their battery pack PSU which was better e.g. less grainy. I then bought an...
