How does chord Dave compare to Hugo 2?

yes. Have they provided any acknowledgment of airplay issues?

I’m sorry but I do expect Chord to give some sort of status update every once in a while especially for the benefit of new owners facing issues. Has Chord acknowledged the vinyl static/crackle sound with Airplay?

Just tried using Apple Music to download the same file locally and play over airplay. Same results with LP like static. I don’t have issues with non-instrumental music though

I don’t use Apple Music but the issue exists even when using Spotify with airplay. The same Spotify/tidal music with Bluetooth or upnp results in no static and clear audio.

I am playing it from tidal on my iPhone via airplay. For ex, Nocturnes by Chopin has a lot of very soft static in between piano notes.

It works but perhaps your setup isn’t detailed enough to detect the LP crackle in the instrumentals

Have you tried instrumental music like piano over airplay? You can clearly hear LP static like sound while the piano plays. just curious because I don’t believe it’s a hardware issue.

In the meantime us 2Go users need to just use upnp and avoid airplay.

Hi all. like many others, I’ve been facing issues with the 2Go. specifically, airplay results in crackling/static sound like a LP, especially for instrumental piano music. playing the same files from tidal using upnp with mconnect (rather than airplay) resolves the issue. I think chord has a...

Hi John. I've PMed you my email and the situation.   Hope to hear from you soon.

Right I don't expect them to respond to this post with the answer. Rather, expect them to PM or ask me for an email so they can look it up. I also don't live in the US, so it's not super convenient to have an international call, when there is email where this can be handled. Anyway I'm...

Thanks for the response. Actually, I've been trying to call but it's going to voicemail. If anyone from Noble is reading this, would appreciate ANY information on my order since it's well beyond 24 hours ago that I placed my order(site mentions 24 hours to ship).

Yes, same reason exactly. I'm also leaving for a trip and needed to confirm when it will ship to coordinate with people.

Can someone tell me from experience how long the universal iems take to ship out from Noble? I've placed an order 2 days ago with no confirmation and was wondering if I should be worried.

Thanks for your response! Edit: received response from Chord that this is normal since the unit has a lot of batteries to charge and takes a long time. Also, when switched on it consumes some of the battery charge and goes into charging mode! Thanks everyone, my mind is finally at rest.

So I got back to find the charge light off but on turning it on and then off again, the charge light is back on.. It was off though when I got home. Is this normal? Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks I'm heading off to the office now. I've kept it plugged in and will report back on the status once in back in 9 hours :/

The Even with it off, the charge light is on. Also when I switch the unit on, the auth light is on as well. I don't even see a mention of auth anywhere in the manual. Do you know what it is for?

Hi I just got a chord Hugo TT and am loving it with my HD800. But I've noticed that the charge light on mine has remained on despite it being 7 hours since I plugged it in. The manual mentions that it should turn off after 5 hours once charged. Anyone else have their Hugo TT with the charge...

Audioengine D1. Best DAC/amp under 400. If budget goes to $400 then CEntrance DACport. If it goes to $700, then Schiit Bifrost DAC+ Schiit Asgard AMP. Over that and I dont know :(

Some people seem to be having problems with the D1. I fortunately received a perfect condition unit with everything working as advertised. It sounds great for the price and frankly, I've heard other dacs which cost much higher with the same remainder setup as mine and there's barely any...

  Quote: I would disagree. I listened to a dacport and a d1 when making my decision and the d1 seems to sound equal to if not better than the dacport, at least for instrumental music. The dacport did make the bass better for low volumes though( Still not $250 better)

Hi, I got a replacement pair of IE8 headphones from Sennheiser without any questions asked. I just had to send my old broken pair in. I'm really happy with the service. But, when I heard them for the first time, there was static on rotating the plug(which is now gone for some reason) and they...
