do you feel the usb cables made a difference

They can audibly influence what you hear, yes.

The chain is correct.

Affirmative, thank you.

Does the iFi iUSB3.0 have the correct power for a Hugo 2 if i use the usb power from that device to charge/run in desktop mode? i dont want to blow up the Hugo 2 or underpower it

also would i benefit from a Curious Cable Type A to Type B cable between the iGalvanic and iUSB3.0?

1. iusb has enough power to run hugo2 in desktop mode
2. The cable from PC to galvanic matters.... you'll require usb3.0 type B which is diff. from usb 2.0. I had mercury usb3.0 cables to connect pc to galvanic & galvanic to iusb3.0. Definitely made a diff over stock ones.

Just got my iGalvanic, which of the three settings am i supposed to use, any info would be highly appreciated

Current versions are always more effective than previous. For example, just recently we got feedback that our iPurifier3.0 is far superior to the previous model.

@iFi audio Is there any way to tell the difference between 1st gen vs 2nd gen versions of the iGalvanic 3.0 or Micro iUSB? Debating between buying a used iGalvanic or a brand new one, depending on whether there has been an update internally.

iGalvanic3.0 came out in one version only.

Mid position is what you want to have. If there are any issues, please experiment with the remaining two.

Hey what’s the best cable iFi has for a regular usb type b for my Hugo m scaler before I buy a curious cable I’m checking in with my home boys iFi, I want to keep all the orange mercury cables but I don’t see a usb 2.0 in orange

Gemini3.0 and Mercury 3.0 are the best, but try the Gemini/Mercury original. It is just that USB3.0 standard is higher, better spec. Though you will need an adapter due to the USB A socket. An iPurifier3 is what customers usually use. And this sorts the data our before enter the DAC which in this case is the mDSD.

My thoughts on the iFi Gemini3.0 cable available here if anyone wants to read them.

Hi, I'm having a problem with the power connection between chord hugo 2 and imicro USB 3. Once the hugo 2 goes into standby or I switch it off, it seems it stops receiving power from the imicro. When I switch the hugo2 back on, I get the blue battery light. I have to then toggle the auto/on switch from on -auto-on for the white ( connected/ charging) light on hugo2 to come back on. This situation is preventing the hugo 2 from entering desktop mode. I keep the auto/on switch by default on "on" on the ifi.
Any ideas?
Ps. I'm going to leave it on again for another 24 hrs and see what happens. Hopefully it's just me missing something.

Hi, Ok. Seriously my bad. 24 hrs later the violet desktop mode light came on. I obviously get confused with all the colourful lights on the hugo2.
So now I can recommend the device for use with the hugo2. Yes the sound quality is bettered...I am also using the igalvanic 3 with it. The two together are an audible improvement over stock hugo2.
