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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP

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...- JulianFP
