LOL! macroSD card ;-) Doody

All good in Doody-land. Deleted the old app, installed the APK. Firmware updated. Cards re-scanned. App works. MConnect app connects and works. Musical sounds are produced :-). Hopefully I'll have some time to explore and play later tonight after work. Thx for the help, folks. Doody

So I got the update. No problemo. When I run it it mentions the Android 10 thing. The app that was updated via the Play Store isn't finding my 2go (it used to, just fine). So I downloaded the PolyUniversal app from the Chord web page. I changed the security settings to install it and the APK...

Levi's 501 🤠 Doody

please let us know how it is! i keep mine in my coat pocket or the back pocket of my jeans. not sure i'd be willing to take a risk on the clasps or the strap... doody

FWIW, I keep my 2go unbolted. When it's mobile (not a whole lot since this effing virus showed up) it's in a case that keeps the two halves snugly together. And when I'm using it in my home system, I need to be able to pop it on and off to go USB-direct into the Hugo2 sometimes. Doody

I've got 1.03 for the firmware and 1.2.91 for the Android app (June 2020). Both claim to be up-to-date. Doody

My understanding, which may be incorrect, is that they felt the last firmware update 'fixed' the problems. I'm not sure they're looking for anything any longer. If you're experiencing VinylPopsAndClicks you should (a) make sure you've got the latest firmware and (b) let support at Chord know. Doody

I've used a slew of different Micro SD cards - and never found one that didn't work fine. Currently, I have a pair of SanDisk 1TB cards in 2go. https://amazon.com/gp/product/B07P9W5HJV Doody

Please remember to take Moon Audio's "release date" releases with a grain of salt - a grain about the size of Brazil. Doody

I've rarely carried mine in my pocket, but never had that problem. Some of the cases out there have 'covers' that would stop this behavior for sure - though I"m not sure you'd still be able to shove it in your pocket with a 'thick' cover. Doody

OH MAN! You mean they're taking away our developer status?!?!?!?!? LOL. I'll live ;-). Doody

@ChordElectronics nice work getting the Roon stuff sorted out. Thank you for wrapping that up! Still 1.0.3 on my end for firmware - no update available yet. Doody

For me it was entirely automated. I emailed them. They replied "you're all set!". I gave them no information other than my Roon email address. Doody

I believe that they verify you had the 2go on Roon prior to the deadline. So if you bought new, you're stuck - unfortunately. But if you were using it prior, they can tell and they'll approve. But don't quote me - ask 'em. Doody

I don't entirely (yet?) need "evidence/proof" as miketlse mentions, but I can't even imagine the mechanism that could cause any change to the bitstream. As I understand it (and maybe I'm wrong!), UPnP and DLNA work to _route_ stuff from point A to point B. Using mConnect (that's what I use) I...

Help me out here. Are we talking about SD card playback? Is someone asserting that the control app on your phone, which tells 2go to push a given file through to the USB port into Hugo2, is somehow altering the quality of the playback? If so, can you offer up even a broad theory of how on earth...

No, not exactly. The product is not certified with Roon, but if you request developer status with Roon, they will set you up so you can use it. The deadline for this was 09/01 or the like, but apparently they've been good about it if you ask. Not yet, no. They've been working on it... Doody

Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, that's a great post by their dev team. @Matt Bartlett @ChordElectronics please check that out? Doody

@ChordElectronics any new news on Roon certification? Or on the next cycle of firmware to try to address the 'vinylpopsandclicks' issue? Thanks, Doody

it's in this thread. go back to august (?) when the original announcement happened and step forward. at some point roon opened up this developer option for folks to not be screwed. the deadline was 09/01 but i missed the deadline and they still let me in. doody

Request to become a developer at Roon and they will most likelly set you up lickety-split. Doody

They're well aware. They continue to work on it, we all hope! Doody

Finally got my other 1TB sd card sorted out - so now I've got 2 x 1TB in the 2go (SanDisk) Unfortunately, I've been playing a bunch of stuff this afternoon off of the SD cards and I'm getting a variety of vinylpopsandclicks as well as some straight-up drop outs (silent pauses for up to 2...

Yup. A USB pass through has been discussed and desired. My big concern is losing a set screw (or two) when connecting and disconnecting it. Doody
