Haters will say it is not portable enough for IEMs

Ha nice.
It’s never even occurred to me to bring the remote when I’m out and about with H2.
All this time I’ve been reaching in my backpack or suffering excessive volume and wondering why I didn’t just bring my smaller DAP.
😅

I had exactly the same dilemma today. Normally if I hid Hugo in a hoodie it’s still accessible, but today with it in a hoodie.. in a coat…
I figured maybe I’ll use the remote for the first time for volume control, tbh it worked flawlessly haha

I'm gonna have to use the remote more. I thought it was an IR remote and wouldn't work if the sensor was covered up...unless IR waves pass through fabrics well enough :thinking: If so, or it's an RF remote and I'm just stupid lol, that's an elegant solution. Good find!

From the (LOL) manual:

Hugo 2’s IR sensor is located within the viewing glass, for optimal performance please do not obstruct this area.

Well at least I'm not stupid...on this matter 😆

Not sure how @kajetanjazz is getting that to work.

Also did a post on Facebook group with a video how I’m wearing it (found quite funny it being the only use case for the remote for me😅) It is infrared, but for some reason there was no problem using the hugo inside a hoodie and coat. And you need the volume control a lot with a sensitive IEM, since the volume difference between tracks is big

I thought this was a DAC thread, not a fashion show! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: :laughing:

Yeah an IR beam could probably pass through the fabric of a hoodie pouch well enough. With that use case they probably should have called it the Joey, not the Hugo, hahaha.

Also, that reminds me, the lights on the Hugo 2 are helpful but can be absurdly bright.

For people interested, they can always see how Hugo looks with a hoodie. Still quite flashy design:)

Outside though you can’t even see if it’s turned on or not during sunlight.. It’s quite ok for me, at nighttime the second dimmed option has never been too bright

Can I ask what the PW Audio module is being used for? I assume it plugs into the RCA outputs?
