    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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...

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    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...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    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...

    dCS Bartok

    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...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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%...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    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
