my ipod touch 7th gen. has been streaming qobuz and tidal roon 96/192khz without a single drop out for months. it can also do 768khz flawlessly. connected to a energizer 20000mAh powerbank and with full charge i'm getting 30-50 hours playback between charges. the ipod is also stripped right down and plays nicely into my mscaler connected to tt2. of course this is a static set up as repeatedly charging the ipod if strapped to a hugo2 would be impractical. total cost £270. it's an iphone minus cellular. an invisible high quality plug n play non mains connected streaming delight.

2GO pro tip. If you change password on network... 2Go will attempt to login with old pwd and not give you any indication there is a pwd issue. You need to delete any network that pwd has been changed and re add network with new pwd.

2go Roon protip. Easy way to switch betweeen 192 and 384 for all bit rates quickly. You can set max pcm rate under device settings advanced VS adjusting each separately for 192 vs default max pcm rate (384).

Quite sure 384 issues are a RAAT issue with Roon... chord please accelerate your Roon fixes!

Dedicated 2.4ghz network.... skipping like crazy on 192 Roon... pathetic! this is so hit or miss. You simply should be ashamed to launch a product with this level of error on the BASICS in 2020

On a more positive note I finally got into sd card playback ( fed up with roon skipping). Somehow over headphones roon is preferable over sd card but yesterday I tried sd card playback into devialet reactors. Made me sit up and take note!
Literally blew me away, the sq.
Downside is the gofigure app is a shambles. Keeps losing the playlist window. Keeps disconnecting from the phone and making playlists is so circa 2003.
Chord have managed to give us the best of Hell and Heaven in one package.

I find that when there are many connected devices on the same network and the collective network workload of the devices goes above 1mbps, that's when the skipping starts. When there is no heavy network traffic taking place even dsd256 is smooth sailing. So is it roon or is it the 2go????. Plus this defeats the whole work from home protocol

Both... I’m quite sure it’s Roon incompatibility... I get stable 192 with audirvana.... therefore chord needs to put eng on this and fix.

There was me thinking a 2yu and a 2Go would be a nice front end for my M Scaler and DAVE. I think I am going to think again! Spending good money on a headache does not appeal to me. Money is hard to come by in these times, and if Chord want anymore of mine they will have to do a better, rock-solid job.

Hear you on that. I am looking at streamers too (Innuous mainly)

Rigelian is fantastic

Agree. This forum is superb. I've learned tons here, including about Rigelian, which I think is the best sd card control app I've tried, but Nucleus is interesting.

Let’s not forget the music. For those with 2go... here are 2 great albums to check on h2go. Both sound rich.

Robot Koch is an award winning producer/composer from Berlin, living in Los Angeles. His unique sound of organic electronic music has been called “Wonderful and Strange – pop music from the future.”

Further testing... Audirvana... upsampled to dsd.... NO SKIPPING.

THIS IS 100% A ROON COMPATIBILITY ISSUE. I have suspected this for almost 2years with POLY.

Roon is very sensitive with network issues. Today i'm using an iPad as an endpoint and I have often the music stops playing and it seems is about my wifi network.

And to finish, for me the couple 2Yu/2Go is very interesting because you can have multiple digital outputs active in the same time. It will permit to feed two zones of my apartment with the same source.
That can't be possible with a sMS-200 for example.
