Hello
Does someone know a "hard mesh case" (like those for carrying headphones) that can hold the Hugo 2 with its leather case, without rattling :
- for Hugo 2 alone (with leather case)
- deeper, for H2 and stacked DAP (like Fiio x5III, Pioneer XDP300R or Sony WM1Z)

I’d also love a 2Go soon. Any idea of release date and estimated retail price?

 

[tekkster]

Will 2Go be of any use to mscaler/h2 pioneers?

No way to know for sure, but I wouldn't think so. The 2Go, if it's like the Poly, would go directly into the H2. Since the H2 has no digital out, there's no way to go from the 2Go to the M Scaler and back to the 2Go again.

It might be time to open a 2Go thread.

Perhaps noble warriers or local heros? Why wouldn't it be? Unless I'm wrong, your source would be the 2go into the H2, and the MScaler just augments the processing capability of the H2. Or do you feed the source into the Scaler? Not owning one yet, I'm not sure.

The MScaler is the source feeding into the coax input. The 2Go would be a source, feeding into USB.

So no, they can't be used at the same time.

New H2 user coming from Mojo. I'm still justifying the use of desktop mode. Burning the whole unit, most of the time doing nothing, in order to extend the battery lifetime does not make much sense to me. If batteries are dead, I can still use H2, but not the other way around.

A lot of people actually leave DACs on all the time 24/7.

In reality, probably no matter what you do though, you will replace it with a newer model in a few to several years, well before it breaks. So I would just do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

Occasionally, if I have not used my Hugo 2 for a day or two, it takes a few seconds to begin responding to my remote control. Once it registers the first time, it's perfectly fine and instantaneous. I leave it on 24/7 in desktop mode.

Does anybody else experience this? Should I be concerned?

Not sure what we would say. Other than misguided speculation...

Did someone try the Fiio L27 cable to connect a Sony WM1Z to Hugo 2 ?
On the Fiio site, they show a chart saying "the new version is not compatible with mojo", but they don't list the Hugo 2.
Otherwise, isn't 6 cm length a bit short as they don't have the same size ?

Very true, and speculation repeated enough times, becomes embedded as fact in some individuals minds, which then leads to arguments down the line, when these facts are challenged.

So the misguided speculation can go on here instead.

WesennTony,

Desktop mode means only powered on after use till fully charged then both charger and hugo 2 switch off automatically. Hugo 2 is actually only on for a relatively short time. See my previous posts. The only other useage is if you deliberately leave hugo2 on 24/7.

How does the charging work in desktop mode? does it start trickle charging the battery to keep it at a certain percentage?

 

[musickid]

Power from the charger is bypassing the battery in desktop mode however there is some residual small net discharge on the battery during use so when you turn hugo2 off and while it is permanently connected to the charger it will recharge again till full then turn off. Next time you use H2 you have a unit ready for mobile use fully charged up or continue in desktop mode with charger always attached and repeat the cycle. Simple. Magenta indicates desktop mode and i can't see any reason to keep H2 on 24/7.
