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

With close down, shipping to US impeded?

Plenty of reports of posters receiving their 2Go in Canada. I saw on the news an article about Trump wanting to send the army to block the Canadian border. I can imagine that could slow down shipments from Bluebird to US. Not an easy time for Chord fans in many countries.

Will a 2go+Hugo2 sound better than a Hugo2+transport (MacBook, iPhone or a dap) ? .
I do find the the sound a bit harsh with usb connection from my MacBook . So thinking about getting the 2go to eliminate any cable connection/noise .

Yup, at least in my case. Not a trace of noise with Hugo2Go vs Hugo 2+PC;

Do you get that sense of a 'dark' background?
I know with Mojopoly, I am often hearing no difference to Mojo alone driven by an optical source.
But now and again I am stopped in my listening tracks, by a passage of notes that reveal a 'dark background' and make me think 'that sounded good'.

Are you sure the app is controlling 2go with the mpd protocol?

I think so, yes. There is only one source available which is Chord 2Go MPD - see below

Same here. 2go totally clean.

Malcyg, what app is that?

Thanks

Rigelian. It seems very solid in terms of locking on to the 2Go. I‘ve only just started using it as it was recommended by Matt and a few others in this thread and, so far, I quite like it. I was using Glider which has a very nice interface but seems quite flaky in terms of connection.

Can't find an app called Magelian - do you mean Rigelian?

Sorry, yes, Rigelian. Auto type corrected to Magellan, which I incorrectly altered to Magelian. Apologies for any confusion.

 

[mrandery]

Nothing to apologize for. Thanks again - found it and have loaded it up to try out.

So is it somewhat a consensus that Rigelian is the best app for playing SD card on 2go/poly? Any other app worth a try for ios?

 

[supervisor]

yes, it is the best

It’s definitely a very solid connection to the 2Go. This is most important imo - I gave up on SD card playback with MojoPoly last year because it was flaky and unreliable. I now believe that flakiness was largely due to Glider rather than Poly. If you look back a couple of pages, you will see my screenshots from Glider which showed a bewildering range of sources and folders. Rigelian only ever offers up one choice, which is how it should be. I’ve only been using it since yesterday, but it seems very robust in operation so far.

my h2 is noisy in Bluetooth mode. Does the 2Go correct this or is it still basically the same h2 Bluetooth hardware and software employed, getting the same noisy result?
