Seems like a bold blanket statement to make. Whatever works for you though.
How's that a blanket statement? I'm just talking about ONE service where the engine is not transparent. Simple as that. It's been well documented. It's only good for user experience and quick integration on Roon Ready products. Many have moved away from Roon and have instead used Euphony, HQplayer, Squeezelite, UPNP solutions. A 600usd CDT is more transparent than my dedicated NUC running on an LPS on HQplayer. And that setup is way more transparent than running Roon.

Hi, does anyone have any ideas to keep power bank on all the time while using USB output. My Krisdonia is automatically off whenever I unplug the wall charger (in passthrough mode).
I doubt it is some tips from the product ?
“ Low shutdown current for USB & TYPE-C ports: 50mA

Low shutdown current for DC-OUT port: 100mA”

Use a USB load set to >50mA and a Y splitter to allow the load and the Hugo 2 to be plugged in at the same time maybe?

I do what you are looking to do with my Omnicharge packs. they have an auto shutdown defeat menu option.

Does the H2 use less than 50mA turned on and in desktop mode? I’m reading 4-5W of power with the H2 and 2go/2yu on and not streaming.

I received my Hugo 2 today with a form fit Toslink cable made for AK devices. When I attached my AK 1000m, i get no sound. I have an older AK 120, and it works fine. The 3.5 port on the 1000m works fine with headphones, just doesn’t seem to like the fiber cable. I could use the 120 as my source, but no Roon or Tidal. Thoughts?

Bluetooth works fine, I could feed the Hugo with my iPad, but wonder about SQ with IPad on Bluetooth vs. SP1000 with fiber? Mostly listening with Utopia.
