Even Valentinum's case with it's cover leaves the slots exposed. I think the cards are pretty safe though, due to the slots being dimpled inwards and the cards themselves well recessed. Could use a strip of tape I suppose :relaxed:

I ordered and received a Valentinum case that covers just about everything, allowing access only to the USB port (for charging) as well as both headphone outputs. I’m pretty happy with the results and how protective it is. All you have to do is message him on Etsy and request this particular variant.

That's really cool, he didn't suggest that option for me, however my cover protects the the whole of the top,and also I prefer to be able to check the network status lamp on the side.

I prefer Roon but my annual subscription has expired and it’s just not something I’d like to keep paying for. Is there anything else I can use? Any advice would be appreciated.
Roon, now remains the best option in terms of sound quality.
Alternatively, you can try for Android ™:
BubbleUPnP UPnP / DLNA => for listening Tidal.
MAFA - MPD client => for playing music files with SD Card.

Audirvana is another option.

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 solution might sound better. Will experiment.

Does anyone know what the wifi chip in the Poly is? And it's max data rate? I find Poly works flawlessly in the same spot where the 2Go fails.
Audirvana is another option.
what is the best free option other than Roon to use with Tidal and iPhone?

Does anyone know why you have to disconnect 2Go from HUGO every time it needs to be charged? I used to just leave the HUGO on the charger but now when it runs down I have to disconnect the 2Go? Why didn’t CHORD make a pass through so both are charged from the same charger??
It is possible that your USB charger is not delivering enough current to charge both units. Try using a higher power charger.

I use the included charger, and that’s never been an issue for me — H2 & 2go have been inseparable since they first met :kiss_ww:

I think the problem is that 2go eats all the charging current and doesn’t pass any on until it is fully charged — selfish person!

My experience has been yes you can leave them both on the charger but you can’t keep both on the charger and play music
Not true. Sorry, not in my experience as I am (currently, right now, as I type, really) listening to ‘Nightcall’ by London Grammar, Qobuz streamed to 2Go attached to Hugo 2 playing on HEKse via 1/4 in out. Plugged in charging, with the provided charger.
