Why would you want to deal with the buggy software of the 2Go, when you can either build (Raspberry Pi + Pi2AES) or buy (Metrum Ambre) a standalone streamer that just *works*, for much cheaper?I still want the Hugo 2/2Go, or perhaps the Hugo TT2 with the 2Go/2Yu instead, but I’m ok with my Lotoo Paw Gold Touch for the moment.
I wonder if the 2Go/2Yu would work nicely with my LPGT? Is it battery powered in that configuration too?

that wasn't my experience. i liked both from the very first listen.I agree it can take a little time acclimate to the Stellia, especially if you insist on using the Utopia as a point of reference (I know I was). Because they do sound pretty different in tonality even if they do share the same DNA.
The first time I heard the Stellia was also at Canjam and I was not particularly impressed by it. I sing a different tune about it now, though.

It's Focal, so probably about $2800.

I was being facetious, I didn't feel as if I'd have to specify that.
Just to make clear, I don't know what a driver replacement would cost.

i think it costs around $900 USD to replace the utopia's drivers, noting that both drivers are replaced when one has failed

Love your photograph here man! (along with the utopia photo). I do think this one better because you able to blend cool vs warm colours really well.

I just got the ZMF copilot for my stellia. It doesn't look that good but I am sure it's better than using the headband without something to protect the leather
There's something called a "shower". It's very effective at protecting the leather!
Let me know how that goes. I have protectors on the headband but this looks interesting.I just got the ZMF copilot for my stellia. It doesn't look that good but I am sure it's better than using the headband without something to protect the leather

To me that’s like getting the couch covered in plastic. Just use the couch.
