(posted earlier on another forum) Here’s a sad/funny example of 2go unreliability just now. Latest firmware. My UniFi Dream Machine router is on a kitchen shelf in front of a window to the backyard. My house is typical American wood frame construction, no concrete or other Faraday cage ingredients anywhere. Closest other WiFi APs are <-80dBm. I 'm sitting 1.5m from the router. I placed the 2go+Hugo 2 to my left, just over 2m from the router diagonally from the window. Constant track skips from Roon. I moved it to my right, 1.5m line of sight through the window to router on a low (plastic box) platform. No skips so far. But of course my Macbook, iPad, and Pixel 5 phone work perfectly at any of these locations.

Updated my firmware today to the latest 1.5.3. The firmware update seemed to go well but now I can’t power on my 2Go. I disconnect the power and then connect the power and the 2Go is completely dead.

Is there anybody here for whom the firmware update went smoothly? I haven't tried mine yet.

Thanks for the warning, I didn't upgrade, perhaps we will see a 1.5.4 soon.

No I stuck with the previous version as there was nothing in the new version I needed and I wanted to be able to use 2go with other USB DACS without my 2yu for the moment. I truly suspect this F/W may well be designed to fix the 2yu bypass bug. We know Chord do visit Headfi and may have read my messages despite there being no response to this undocumented feature and the ability to bypassing 2yu if required.

Alumiumcase with internal antenna is recipe for disaster. Remember iphone 4?

Updated today. Everything works fine for me.

Mine seemed to upgrade okay and I got a similar screen. Later in the day the 2go power was found to be off and I have been unable to power it on.

2Go may have discharged. Try charging it.

this happened to me at first. What helped was pulling the Hugo/2go from power, THEN turning on with the small power button on the 2Go. From that point on it worked, but I thought I had bricked mine as well.

Also, download the new GoFigure for whichever mobile device you are using.

I tried the above with no effect. 2Go still dead. I downloaded the new GoFigure software before the update.

Unscrew 2 Go from Hugo 2. Try charging or running as a separate physical device.

Tried that too. Still a brick. Contacted Chord support.

How long have you been using 2Go? Is the battery dead?

Thanks for your help. Bought the 2go in 11/20. Battery was working fine before the update. Using the same charger I have always used. The charger works well on the Hugo 2 alone just won't power the 2go on its own or when the 2Go is connected to the Hugo2

My charger works both together Chord Hugo2 + 2Go and separately.
