Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
This is simply not true, as Chord’s DAC’s do not have an amplification stage and the volume adjustment is done on the DAC directly and you are listening direct from the DAC’s output. This is Rob Watt’s custom FPGA design and they do not use any off-the-shelf chips. For the vast majority of...- GoSUV

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
In my opinion, Mojo2+Poly does improve upon just connecting USB to another device like a smartphone or a computer. If I have to put a reference on how much improvement you might expect to get, I’d say if you play music from the mSD card inside Poly is a 10/10, then AirPlay over Wi-Fi to the...- GoSUV

Chord Anni
I am thinking of getting the Anni for small room near field listening with a pair of bookshelf speakers (ProAc Tablette Anniversary if that’s relevant). And I might occasionally use them to listen to headphones such as the Beyer T1.2. My question is, if I connect the Anni to a Hugo2, and if I...- GoSUV

Apple AirPods Pro And NEW AirPods Pro 2nd Gen (from 23 Sep 2022) - Impressions
Don’t give up on the AZLA’s just yet, you might just need to insert them properly to get a good seal. Like you, I struggled with the stock tips and could never get them to seal, they always slip out after a minute or so. Until I tried the AZLA’s. They are made of a sticky material and will keep...- GoSUV

Chord Electronics ☆ Poly ☆ (wireless & microSD module for Mojo) ☆★►USEFUL INFO on 1st PAGE!!◄★☆
I find that if you leave the Poly connected to the Mojo, the Poly battery will self deplete completely after roughly one week of non use, depending on initial charge level. So if you anticipate a period of inactivity, it is best to separate the two units. But even if you do that, the Poly...- GoSUV

No I don't already have the wired version, but I like the Beyer sound and am interested in the Xelento for a while.

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
If you have a matched set of systems with control relays or your power amp somehow comes with a remote control, then it is easily done which component you need to switch off first and turn on last to avoid that loud pop. But if your power amp only has a mechanical switch at the back of the unit...- GoSUV

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
This is perhaps a question for Rob. When you turn on or off the TT2 with the remote, does it produce a "pop" through your headphones/speakers? The reason I ask is, the other day I was demoing some power amps and speakers at a dealer, and brought along my Mojo as source. When the demo was...- GoSUV

New Beyerdynamic T1 (2nd Generation)
If you are getting "piercing highs" on the T1.2, make sure your source is not contributing noise into your amps, which will be perceived as brightness and harshness - the T1.2 is hardly harsh sounding, although the highs are prominent, with the right source and lack of electrical noise, the T1.2...- GoSUV

Chord Electronics ☆ Poly ☆ (wireless & microSD module for Mojo) ☆★►USEFUL INFO on 1st PAGE!!◄★☆
I have the random drop out problem sometimes, when doing AirPlay (read: wifi) streaming. I think this has to do with the weak signals of the Poly, maybe due to concerns with battery life. Whenever I walk past busy subway stations, I can expect dropouts at the exact same spots everyday, so I know...- GoSUV

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
I don't understand what's all the fuss about cheap remotes. IMHO, all modern homes with a TV, set top box, A/V amplifier, CD player, BD player etc. and with their own individual remotes, I'm surprised if anyone still has not replaced them all with a universal/learning remote solution. The...- GoSUV

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Assuming you were to skip the power amplifier and use the TT2 to drive speakers directly, and you would be using the XLR outputs to do so? How do you connect your speaker cables (assuming banana plugs) to the XLR outputs and what sort of adaptor do you need? Assuming my room is small (about 100...- GoSUV

According to some official pictures (albeit pre-production ones) I have seen, are you sure about this extra cable that plugs into the bottom of the BT transmitter that turns the headphones into wired mode, rather than having to swap out the cables entirely at the MMCX connectors?

The battery drain did the trick for me, as my Poly was also bricked previously when I fiddled with the GoFigure settings and suddenly Poly was not responding to anything, no Bluetooth, no wifi, not joining any networks, and not responding to the pin.

My Poly is now bricked as well.

New Beyerdynamic T5p 2nd generation
Having owned all of the T5p G1, T5p G2 and T1 G2, I think both G2 versions are very similar in their voicing, except the difference in sound stage because the T5p is closed. The T1 simply sounds more open and less "in your head". However, I would say that the treble of the G2 versions are more...- GoSUV

Wow, this is impressive. What firmware version are you running? I think mine is 1.0.17 and I still experience tons of drop outs and down right unlistenable whenever I pass through busy subway stations. Are you using your phone's hotspot or do you use the Poly's hotspot function?- GoSUV
