. There are lots of settings to make sure the R7 is outputting properly, including a beta driver. If that driver is not enabled, the R7 may downsample. For me, when the driver is engaged for certain streaming apps, the R7 output to an external dac via usb c is bit perfect and very good.

I was hoping perhaps the new firmware (1.04) resolved the issue with the usb port after using Roon Arc, but, unfortunately, it did not. Once Roon Arc obtains control of the usb port to play music to a usb connected external dac, no other streaming source on the R7 (e.g., Sirius, Qobuz) will plas...

I went usbc out to my dac. Worked, but the driver created issues (see above) with control of the port and swapping streaming sources.

I do not see an app called Fiio Cast in the iOS App Store?

I have given up on the R7 as a streamer for an external usb dac. I’m back to an iOS device.

Does anyone know if it would be theoretically possible for Chord to update the 2Go (and Poly) firmware to build Roon Arc into the steamer? It would be great if we could then use Chord's mobile GoFigure app to control Roon Arc running on the 2Go. Assuming it is possible, would Chord do it...

I think it was. I think I am on 1.03?? This firmware didn't fix the driver issue.

I tried to disable the usb driver, but that does not release the usb c connected external dac, so I am unable to play music using any other app except the one that last used the driver (i.e., Roon Arc and Qobuz) until I reboot the R7.

Same here. I use an external dac. I use Apple Music, Roon Arc, Qobuz, and Sirius. The R7 is simpler for me than another streamer like a Pi that I would mess up, and that isn’t as “pretty” or simple to control. My only issue is with the Ru’s usb driver. It doesn’t release the streaming app...

I am using latest version of Roon Arc. Once Roon Arc plays music to an external dac connected by usb c, I can no longer play music to the external dac over usb c with any other streaming service. It is like the usb c port gets locked to the Roon Arc app.

It still happens without enabling that mode.

II opened Fiio music one time but I don’t use it. I don’t recall whether I used usb exclusive mode. I don’t think so, but I might have tried it one time to see what would happen.

Duplicate. Sorry.

I just purchased the R7 for the purpose of acting solely as a transport for my office system (MyTek Brooklyn Bridge Dac > Kinki Studio Integrated Amp > Bonickie W5SE speakers) . What attracted me to the R7 is that I can use all streaming services and especially Roon Arc, which permits me to...

I always wondered why Chord doesn’t hire the developer for good player software (e.g., Rigelian) or just buy the software and implement it as the player portion of its GoFigure software offering. Perhaps that’s just too complicated. After putting the Hugo2Go down for a few months, I picked it...

I think it builds them based on the folders. On one of my sd cards (my jazz/classical card), the system worked. So my 10 Miles Davis sacd rips in the “Miles Davis” folder, which are each in a separate folder for each album (e.g., Kinda Blue, Miles Smiles, etc.) were all in a separate playlist. I...

Had my Hugo on entire time. I put it down until the weekend when I have time. Might format the sd card and recook the music files. That would probably take about 5 hours

My indexing is now going on about 5 hours. Obviously, something is not working. I get a variety of lights blinking. Sometimes red, sometimes free, sometimes dark blue, sometimes teal, sometimes the rapidly flashing indexing, sometimes yellow. Annoying to say the least. Plus, cannot connect...

Ok, so after reading a few things from Chord, I installed the firmware, and that went ok. I installed it because I noted the focus on playlists (which was the subject of my tirade last night). It’s possible my playlist issue was a glitch during the period between the app update and the firmware...

Dear Chord: Now that your update ruined my device (can no longer access my 75 playlists on the sd cards that you forced me to make so your crappy software could play music from the sd card using your crappy app) can I get my money back? p.s. Good luck with the new firmware everyone. (LOL) I’m...

Upgraded iOS software is a major fail for me. (Yes, I removed the old version then installed the new one). When I try to access either one of my two micro sd cards, I get “Switching cards. Please wait." together with a never ending spinning pinwheel. Among other things, this means I cannot...

For that proposed use case, why not just use an appropriate DAP as transport for the Hugo2?

Try it wired as a test first. 2Go is extremely WiFi finicky.

I haven’t been here for a while and hope someone provided to you this possible solution. Erase the Bluetooth connection (“forget this device”) of the 2Go from whatever iOS device your trying to connect from within the Bluetooth settings on the iOS device, there potentially could be multiple...
