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

    I've just got into home automation and Zigbee devices also use 2.4GHz although clearly different protocols (packet formats etc). I did a very quick walk around my apartment about a month ago adding up in my head the total number of potentially(*) 2.4GHz devices I had and, when I included all my...

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

    I fixed my issue by adding another repeater for my mesh WiFi that is located in my listening room so no more dropouts for me but when I was having issues it was with both streamed (from Qobuz in my case) and locally stored tracks so definitely a WiFi issue for me. My local music library is...

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

    An update on my experiences with the 2Go, previously very negative. Sitting on my sofa in my listening position if I placed my 2Go/Hugo2 to the left of me, hence about 6m from my main Amplifi HD router, it worked perfectly without any dropouts but if I placed it to the right of me, hence about...

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

    As someone who suffers from arachnophobia I find your router slightly disturbing 😀 - I'm sure it is good though. I hope I don't end up needing yet another router upgrade. Hopefully adding in an extra repeater at the front of my apartment will at least stop the track skips when I'm sitting down...

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

    Interesting, thanks - although not what I wanted to hear. For me it's definitely "Poly good, 2Go bad" which is so disappointing given the 2Go is the newer model and 2.5x more expensive vs the Poly. I do actually have an extra wired repeater for my mesh network sitting on my desk right now that...

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

    Maybe just another aspect of the "clicks and pops" issue but is general poor WiFi connectivity with the 2Go a live issue that has been discussed on this forum? Is it better WiFi connection stability that we're hoping to see addressed in an upcoming firmware release? Previously I used a Chord...

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

    I can see the sense in Chord only putting the D-rings on the one that comes with a strap so that people like you who only want to use it for protection don't get annoyed by unnecessary (to you) D-rings. Let's face it, whoever is buying these cases has spent about £2,700 on the Hugo2 + 2Go (if...

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

    Are these fairly new? I looked maybe a month ago before getting my Hugo2+2Go and the only combo-case I saw at that time was for the Mojo+Poly. I was quite surprised (and disappointed) not to see an equivalent for the Hugo2/2Go combo. They look good. I think I'll go for the one with the strap...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    Well, I think that I‘m now in a position to judge your input and award you a mark (says a total amateur with nothing like the exposure to high end stuff that you have). Anyway, for what it’s worth you nailed it. 10 out of 10. I totally love this combo (except for maybe the low clamping force of...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    It is something I intend to do. I’m having too much fun listening to my new Empy/Hugo2 setup at the moment, I have grown more impressed and found more positives since my previous post e.g. way better midrange “bounce” than my LCD-XC (yes, I’m a bouncy kinda guy; I just love punchy rhythmic stuff...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    My Empys plus Chord Hugo 2 arrived today. My previous/other setup was/is Audeze LCD-XC driven from a Chord Mojo. The source for both is streaming from Roon to Chord 2Go/Poly respectively with source files either from my ripped-to-FLAC CDs or from Qobuz. I’ve done less than an hour of listening...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    Thanks. And again thanks also to @Slim1970 and @PrTv for their input. I just pressed the button on this setup since I found a UK retailer that had all 3 components (Hugo2, 2Go & Empys) in stock in the colours I wanted. I had heard from a friend in the UK who just got himself a Mojo that there...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    How do you find the bass impact and slam of the Empys vs the LCD 3? I have no idea how similar the bass is across the Audeze range but have heard that Audeze in general is considered to have very good and impactful bass. I have a pair of Audeze LCD-XC at the moment and the only thing that is...

    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    I've actually read all 581 pages of this thread! I currently have a pair of Audeze LCD-XC driven from a Chord Electronics Mojo+Poly and streaming all my music from Roon. I'm toying with the idea of upgrading to Empyrean + Chord Hugo 2 DAC & Chord 2Go streamer. I'm wondering if by any chance...
