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

[Jimjim77]

Note I also just take this opportunity to say to those patiently waiting for their 2yu’s we are now, following this latest firmware up date, are now able to start rapidly shipping these units to our retailers in good numbers. Once again I’d just like to say sorry to those of you that placed orders for the lengthy delays. Which were due to a particular chip manufacturers hardware related issue now fully resolved.

Great news !

Is there anyway to revert back to the old firmware?

Uh oh, that's not good.

New F/W installed OK here, not really noticed any difference to be honest, which could be seen as good or bad I suppose.

On my Wifi upto 24/96 seems to stream OK but 24/192 is a noGo on my 2Go.

I was thinking the thread seems very calm compared to previous Poly and 2Go updates - but it is still mid-afternoon in the US.

Is there a FAQ section for the 2Go anywhere please?

Did the update. Wish the firmware updates weren't so clunky. From having to unzip the apk and sideload on Android, to the app losing connection and crashing midway thru the update (while the 2go is automatically power cycling). Sigh. But it did work, on v1.50 now.

Have a work meeting right now. Will test this afternoon and cross my fingers vinlypopsandclicks is gone. I'm anxious about it.

There is the FAQ that @joshnor713 flagged up.
Most of the early Poly and 2Go firmware was based on a common platform, so it looks like Chord started adding the 2Go FAQ to the Poly FAQ, but then considered creating a separate 2Go FAQ which has not been completed.
Maybe the project was put on hold while covid was causing problems, but having the 2Go FAQ so empty is confusing now that this major firmware update is happening, so hopefully there are plans to clarify the situation.

Quick test. This is a fantastic update - for me. It has transformed my experience with m-connect. It’s is now snappy and more fast loading and most importantly I use to have this issue where it refuse to start playing a selected song or continue playing songs on a playlist. It’s all fixed for me now. And I am also experiencing a better sound - I think it has to do with a blacker background or a more calmer ease full sound. Anyone else experiencing this? I will listen more/test more and report back. So far - this is awesome!

Updated my firmware successfully, then inserted my 512 GB SanDisk SD card. The 2Go started indexing the card…

…10 hours later, and the multi-colour status lights are still dancing around!

Be still my heart. Five songs in and haven't heard a pop/click. Can this really be it??

Need to do more listening...

Sorry but something is going wrong.
There were a few questions about indexing times a few months ago, and with this limited data, the indexing time appears to be roughly proportional to the number of tracks.
With your sandisk, then 5 to 15 minutes would be the ballpark prediction, but 10 hours indicates an error of some sort.

I agree!

Things *are* progressing - I can use one of the various players I have (Mconnect, 8Player, Fidata, Rigelian) to browse my folders and the number of “albums” is slowly increasing.

Question: does the Hugo have to be powered during indexing? I’d have thought not, but Gofigure whinges that there’s no DAC (which I don’t recall it doing previously).

Another possible reason for the 10+ hours indexing time: last night I added some new music to the card and tried to update the index… well, no matter how many times I told Gofigure to index, nothing happened. I’m wondering if maybe this is coming back to haunt me - perhaps what aim seeing is endless (anc needless) reindexing? (but surely the software can’t be that stipid

Ok, so after reading a few things from Chord, I installed the firmware, and that went ok. I installed it because I noted the focus on playlists (which was the subject of my tirade last night). It’s possible my playlist issue was a glitch during the period between the app update and the firmware update, but the new playlist function is a big deal I think (I also think it should have been there from the start). This is what user SteveHulk suggested a long time ago. The software can now create separate playlists for each “album” so users can play music from the sd card with just the GoFigure App using a bluetooth connection to the Hugo2Go. Now the Hugo2Go is really mobile!

I’m still having a lot of issues with indexing and reindexing and rereindexing of my sd cards, but I’m hopeful things will settle. We will see. I have 2 sd cards with about 900 gb on each, so I need to give Chord the benefit of the doubt with my large databases. I’m off my tirade now and have an open mind. It would have been nice for Chord to have included some release notes about potential playlist issues pending the firmware update, but, while annoying, that’s excusable.
