    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    I agree, and I've had so little issues with it, that I am having a hard time caring about going down another path. If the SQ was amazingly better through something like MConnect, I would perhaps care to experiment more.

    Are you getting DSD-level streaming to work with no issues then, I assume?

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Mid-afternoon yesterday my buddy and I assembled and then listened to two different open baffle speakers that he had built for me for our second home. We used the H2Go wirelessly to listen to Airplayed Pandora and Tidal via my iphone's apps for most of the time we were assembling the...

    Apologies, I was in the car and missed the first part of your question. My speeds are pretty high--they were 60 mbps when I got the 2Go, but I've recently upgraded and I just got 210 mpbs.

    When I checked last night via Fing, I had 68 devices actively connected. We stream to every tv and often have 3 on at a time (I watch sports with the sound off and stream music instead), so the TVs and online gaming are the primary consumers of bandwidth aside from Roon.

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    I'm not totally following. There are people (like me) that are running Roon and not getting pops and clicks. What are the other services that you think might be combining to make the cause the issue if Roon is running on the network but not being used? I can try to test. Again, I've never...

    I'm running Roon and I don't get them at all. I have a super congested network as well, with sometimes over 100 devices online. I do get the Roon dropouts with higher resolution/upsampling, so I'm not without issues--just not the popping and clicking (want to type "popping and locking" there!).

    Sorry, I've only been following this thread for the last 6 weeks or so, and I've had my 2Go almost the whole time. Can folks remind us if anyone had pops/clicks with JUST the Hugo2, or was this behavior once the 2Go came out?

    Yeah, I'm really sorry for the folks who are getting them...I can't make sense of that. Especially if it's somewhat intermittent across that many sources and not consistent day-to-day. It would be interesting to get two different-behaving ones together in the same location and see if it's at...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Is it fair to say that folks who are getting the pops and clicks are mostly getting them when playing from SD cards, but not from streaming? Or am I imagining that pattern? I'm curious as I have not successfully played from an SD card yet, but may try to get that going this weekend, and I will...

    For some reason I've never heard any pops and clicks. I've had all the other issues mentioned though.

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Yeah, agreed--I use Roon at home too, which finds it immediately once it's online, and seems to sound great. I was more curious as to the Qobuz solution folks were using outside of their home networks. I was using Airplay directly from Qobuz app, the but others seem to feel the MConnect...

    OK, thanks for the quick reply. Thank you, the H2Go reboot did in fact make it visible! FWIW, I clearly don't understand UPnP, but different devices are slowly and randomly popping up now (my Rossini DAC just showed up for the first time after the H2Go reboot--I know that's coincidental!)...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    OK, I maybe answered my own question--looks like I do have to use the 2Go in hotspot mode? Now it shows up in the UPnP devices. But my phone doesn't have an internet connection for Qobuz. Sorry, I am sure this was covered before, but can someone remind me of the punchlines here?

    Sorry for the dumb question, but how do I get MConnect to play to the 2Go outside of Airplay? I don't see a reference to it anywhere in the app or the MConnect manual. Should my 2Go show up somewhere else, like in the PlayTo menu? I hope I don't have the join the 2Go's network just to see it?

    Any SQ improvement vs. Airplaying from the Qobuz app on your phone? I downloaded MConnect but never figured it all out...wondered if it's worth my trying it again to improve the sound?

    I can't prove this, but I actually feel like mine is feeling LESS hot with the case you mentioned...I think the venting in it is very well designed. But because the case itself is leather, it's possible I'm not physically feeling it getting hot, even through the vent. I don't know how well...

    I'm going on 24 hours straight now wireless and ON POWER, again at 44.1, with no interruptions. I am now wondering if I'm getting the massively improved results because I somehow (prior to this) appeard to have stopped upsampling on the Roon server side. I am still using MQA and some other...

    If you can check your network status and it says "some dummy from Ohio stole your bandwidth" then we might be onto a pattern here!

    In an odd twist of events, sitting in the exact same spot I had this running over the last couple of days with all kinds of issues, this morning I've miraculously gotten 4 straight, uninterrupted hours of playback via Roon wirelessly (admittedly CD quality)...PLUGGED IN TO POWER. This is...

    I can say with absolute subjective certainty (see how I wrote that?) that all the things you read about that you can do upstream of your music server and your DAC will make a noticeable and additive improvement...in a wired environment. Optical isolation, linear power supplies, power filters...

    I am not sure what to expect when running wirelessly...i'm guessing very little to none, but who knows. The goal of the EtherRegen is to eliminate noise in the system, and going wirelessly obviously introduces all kinds of questions AFTER you would have benefited from the filtering/reclocking...

    I have an EtherRegen and I can say it for SURE makes an improvement to your front-end. It can further be enhanced by adding a better linear power supply, and then again with an external clock. But the EtherRegen in base form is a great improvement in my experience. I run my Hugo/2Go...
