Also I noticed a new problem with my unit since leaving it permanently plugged in.
Whenever I listen to it, after switching it off, the on/off switch glows bright white, which I believe means it’s recharging?
I have to cover the unit with a book or something otherwise its like having a light on on the bedside as we try to sleep. By morning the light has always gone out again.

My understanding is that the unit should be in desktop mode as it is permanently plugged into the mains and so there should never be lights shining when it is switched off as it should never need to recharge?
Am I missing something?

+1, I notice the same. And would like an answer too.

If we're talking about the Hugo 2 charge light being on, this has been addressed in the past. Desktop mode was intended to be used with the device plugged in and turned on 24/7, not just plugged in 24/7.

Yup. Don't switch anything off. Simple as that

However, Chord comment otherwise, see this post in Hugo2 thread:

Anyone recommend a classical radio station that will work from Go Figure?

Whilst in desktop mode, the voltage on the battery is reduced, as the batteries reliability is affected with a constant 24/7 high charging voltage. But the downside to this is the battery charge level is reduced. So when you turn it off, the battery is charged to 100%, then the battery is disconnected from the charger, so the battery no longer sees the high voltage. Both modes of operation is OK for the battery, as the 100% value is still safe - it's just you don't want it for 24/7.

Caved in. So far so good. Running on wireless network, Roon server running on a Synology NAS. No dropouts yet. As a test, I also did fire up my LS50W speakers playing on Roon and both have been playing flawlessly so far. Very happy with this.

Really the first time running MQA stuff, is my signal path okay? Or do I need to tweak anything else?

Not sure if you noticed but i did cut 2 pieces of foam to make the hugo fit. The clamps on this stand is too big. I'm not complaining as the foams might be another protection for it.

Regardless of the foam inserts, great ingenuity

Where did you get the stand?

Where did you get the stand?

So I am not from the US and I got it locally here. But I did look at amazon and this looks very similar to what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KK1CMWH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_8AEEV862C01CXBJGQRHE

Again, I have to reiterate that I did put foams to make it fit. If you can find a more suitable clamp the better.

Thank you for the link. I just ordered one.

I found it also on Aliexpress on sale:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000918825106.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5e134c4dvcJiOh
Comes with 2 clamps, but even the smaller one is min 111mm vs the Hugo's 100mm width.
