Is it worth $54?

Looks like Qobuz is locked to 96kHz and files get up and down sampled UPDATE - I tried again and this time the rate was locked to 44kHz, so I have no idea what Sony or Android is doing outside of the native player. FYI - the native player asks for permission to use the external DAC (Hugo2 in...

this should explain it

Pushing and holding that button activates the s/pdif coax function

I tend to believe a person who paid for a device has more interest in what the product is vs what was promised and will be more critical and less likely to accept the littlest of issues. Now I'm done with the hijack if you want to further discuss feel free to PM

A reviewer's perspective is a far step from a consumer's perspective. Name one consumer that has had an OEM send them expensive electronics for a try and buy? As long as the consumer has skin ($$$) in the game, their opinion matters. The cost of the device is irrelevant because most consumers...

Many devices only require 1V line in. Green is where I can park Hugo2's volume and not experience any clipping on KSE1200 (no pad)

and in that time there will be at least 4 new and "better" devices to divert attention

Is there a specific reason you want 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

N3Pro owner. Tubes fine. volume wheel trash

The EU forces ridiculous regulations on people, the companies still make the money regardless. Micro USB has enough bandwidth to cover its purpose and is not an issue for some people

Do you lock the output on the Mojo2 to 3v and switch to -10db, or do you run volume up to almost the clipping point and leave it that way|?

In my opinion the only one that is IEM capable is the RU7. The Hugo2 and DC-Elite pack too much punch at the lower end of the volume range. I prefer HP with those 2

I have all 3 that you mention and all of them have a place depending on what you connect to them. To be honest there has never been and probably will never be the perfect audio device

You are correct, Silky smooth and very analog sounding

lan·yard [ˈlanyərd] noun lanyard (noun) · lanyards (plural noun) a rope threaded through a pair of deadeyes, used to adjust the tension in the rigging of a sailing vessel. a cord passed around the neck, shoulder, or wrist for holding a knife, whistle, or similar object.

Is all the album art in the same format ie: .jpg or .png?

Next bit of advice is to contact Sony repair and find out what a diagnosis will cost

Power and Vol down engages the recovery menu

You are correct. Windows Driver, but Android only for controls

Could be, but the technologic hurdles will eventually be overcome. It comes down to whether or not there are adequate resources and a large enough market to take get the project off the ground

There was a progression from Mojo to Mojo2 and a similar progression in Hugo. Both pushed the product forward. Perhaps there is nothing left to gain and aside from some cosmetic changes adds nothing to the sonic ability of each device.

Will this be available in the US and support all carriers?

My hearing has been affected over the course of my life. Teen years were live concerts and too many nights with the headphones at loud levels. With adulthood came more live concerts but added mechanical and electronic sirens. Now at a bit past 60 I have what I call "Periods of Vivid Hearing"...

I would agree 100%. 2Go/2Yu makes a very good streaming solution and the DC-Elite benefits as a result of their pairing
