I received my GOV2+∞ the other day and have been giving it a bit of a workout. I've run it through 2 complete power cycles and it takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge. Is anyone else experiencing these long charge times ? The 2nd time I used a LH Labs 1G USB A to Micro B cable and a good 2A charger. Generally I can charge a 2800mah battery in 1hr 40mins with that charging set up.
I understood the power light indicator would turn red before shutting down, I never noticed I noticed a red light either time (wasn't waiting for it, but never noticed) and the unit simply powered down. The second time it was connected to a PC workstation using JRiver and when it powered off it locked out the Task Bar in Windows 10 - had to reboot the PC. Seems strange. Otherwise performance on PC's with Win 10 as system audio worked seamlessly (also used Surface Pro 3 with JRiver).
My main interest is Android audio - portable HiFi. I'm struggling with this. My Fiio E18 uses a different type of B2B OTG cable which (won't work with GOV2+) once connected, Android recognizes the USB DAC and operates as system level audio device. OTOH, the GOV2+ can only work with certain apps ? Like UAPP & HibyMusic and not as a system level audio device? That seems lame!
I've been able to trick GOV2+ to playback from Google Play/Tune In/YouTube and system sounds from my phone - but something is off with the SQ and it lights up the 4x LED on the GOV2+.
I'm assuming that this has to do with limitations of Android USB Audio standards for hi bit rate files, but why not do both?
My android devices include OnePlus One & OnePlus X, both with Sultan's CM13 ROM, and Nexus 9 stock.
Use a micro-usb to micro-usb cable (both ends) and USB Audio Player Pro (or a USB-C to micro-usb cable). Works great on most Android phones with the V2+.
