The three levels of musical portability (for me, anyway): Hugo 2: around the house only. Can't imagine carrying it comfortably in a pocket of anything I own, except maybe a backpack! Mojo: outside with a coat/ jacket maybe, but too heavy for summer shorts, t-shirt pockets etc. Certainly not...

I use this, but that's because my Note 2i streamer has an RCA coax out. It sounds a bit better than the spdif optical connection to the Mojo. Why do I use a Note 2i instead of the Poly (which I also have)? It's because Poly does not support Airplay 2 (Grrr!), and I need the multi room...

Here's the other end with the detachable cover in situ.

Here's a secret. Neither did I when I ordered it😁.

Here's a picture of the Valentinum case that was delivered yesterday. What's particularly cool (pun intended) about this design is that the detachable cover when folded back allows a degree of air circulation to reach the Hugo/2go through the mesh grill on the underside of the case. Particularly...

I believe this show has been rescheduled to June 2021. http://audioshow.co.uk/ We're under a national lockdown here. Essential retail and travel only.

I know, I just forgot to put a comma in the right place! I quite liked the idea of being a "Roon developer". Alas, no longer.

Spending another £300 in the hope it will get a £1000 device to do what it says on the tin, is not a reasonable solution in my view. Anyway, I had cause to do a factory reset a couple of day of days ago and touch wood, no drop outs since. What with roon certification and a firmware update just...

My dropouts occur in the evening, after people return home from work (I guess; I live in an apartment building). Everything's generally fine during the day. I curse the lack of a 5Ghz alternative on the 2Go (where I've now put my other 13 wifi devices).

I think for the last six months, due to Covid 19, a lot of things that were planned are not happening. The UK is about to enter a second wave, and my home town is about to shut down all hospitality venues and bar inter household mixing for a second time. It's a chaotic time. People are fraught...

I'm not sure they are to be believed totally. I suspect in the early days, it suited Roon's purposes to be able to claim that well regarded, high end hardware manufacturers had bought into Roon's software, and to turn a blind eye to the inevitable bumps in the road relating to certification. So...

I bought a lifetime Roon subscription before the price went up 40% and before the Roon Certification saga which you rightly call a debacle. I'm not sure I'd commit to a lifetime subscription with Roon now. My confidence in them has been shaken. I think the higher end segment of the audio...

Strangely my device is shown as merely "Hugo2" and not as "Hugo2go" as a Roon Ready device. I agree with your view that Roon have, for whatever reason, chosen at short notice to enforce "a law" which, probably for commercial reasons, they've turned a blind eye to in the past.

Don't worry, Demigod Danny will swoop down tomorrow like some Deus ex Machina, and forgive us miserable mortals for not reading Roon's technical guff with enough legal rigour (praise be to Danny).

I'm the very happy owner of three Custom Cans headphone cables. All three cables terminate in 3.5mm jacks, but I notice on the last two I ordered the "barrel" of the jack sits proud of the socket of my Hugo 2 by a few millimetres (the first one sits flush). I guess that's to accommodate recessed...
