I believe Roon / RAAT has the same pops and cracking problem as their DLNA / UPnP implementation?

So I assume Roon will ensure that this issue is fixed before giving the label “Roon-ready” as one of the things.

But I suppose you can better ask this to support of Chord.

No pops or clicks on my end with RAAT. I don't use the
However, I've had an instance of Roon skipping tracks due to "slowly loading" that required a restart of the 2go.
The most common issue is the 2go not powering on with the Hugo. That's a pretty reliably consistent issue.
Can’t speak for others, but I’ve never had any pops, clicks or crackles using 2Go/Hugo 2 via Roon.

Others modes of playback are a different matter.

Same here with Roon. I don't have pops and clicks either streaming Qobuz using mconnect over DLNA either.

Interesting thought -- I have just gone into Roon on my mac desktop, gone to Audio, and then to the 2Go (which is proudly showing its red Uncertified banner)

Click on Device Info. The status window pops open -- it says it is Version 0.9.0

Has Chord forgotten to update the firmware version that it is reporting to Roon?
Mine is reporting 0.9.1.

I can't say I have ever heard a pop, click or crackle using Hugo 2Go. I've tested the following.
  • Roon w/ Qobuz, Tidal and local files up to DSD64 (RAAT)
  • Qobuz and Tidal streaming via MConnect on my iPhone (DLNA)
  • Local files on a micro SD card controlled by Rigelian on my iPhone (MPD)
  • Apple Music on my iPhone (Airplay)

It happened to me frequently, and no matter the source—Roon, SD Card even 2Go Bluetooth (but not H2 BT). My dealer was kind of enough to exchange my 2Go and the new unit had clicks and pops, too.

The fact that some users get pops and clicks and some don't makes me wonder if not all Hugo 2s are the same.

For the avoidance of doubt, I've NEVER EVER heard the vinylpopsandclicks noise on my H2 - with who-knows-how-many hours of listening on it. This is only a 2go issue AFAIK.

To be clear, I’ve never had any clicks and pops using just the Hugo 2 ... only when 2Go is involved.

And some retesting today hasn’t exhibited any clicks or pops with SD card replay via Rigelian or UPnP/DLNA via mConnect. I must not have retested those since the firmware update ... since >95% of the time I use the 2Go is via Roon.

Ah, sorry. No I've never had a pop/click from just the H2 either...only with 2Go.

Other than roon are there any other apps that can be used by either os/android that allow eq?

For iOS, Neutron allows EQ.

Audirvana also allows it.

Nope! No moaning! My (2nd) h2 and 2go has been returned to HQ for Repairs or review etc since July........,so depends on outcome! I will be crying or laughing 🤦🏼‍♂️ Guess time will tell! Chord had for sure given up on head fi it seems ! End of an era! Guess they now rely on mass production and silent treatmemt, sorry to say that a bespoke item like 2go that attitude and process will not work!! Just not enough qty nor numbers I am afraid.....but what do I know! Just a loser in their mainstream....
