I did not have data degradation in mind but audio degradation.If it's over Wi-Fi, then it's bit-perfect. If it weren't, then a large amount of the internet would be completely dysfunctional.
If the data is shipped to my phone and some modification made by an inferior algorithm, such as an alteration in volume level, then I would regard the audio returned to the Hugo 2go as having been corrupted and degraded.
I do not want even the slightest possibility of this.
When the 2go is playing directly to the Hugo from the sd card with my phone disconnected then I am confident that degradation of the sort I have defined is not happening.
