I finally found the time to post a review in the correct Hugo2 thread. I can’t see how to link directly to my review but this link https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/chord-hugo-2.22209/reviews#review-19116 should get close.

I know that 48/96 music stored on my iPhone / iPad reaches Hugo/Mojo/Hugo2 at 48/96 because the marbles or LEDs show the correct colour. However I don’t know whether it is sent “bit perfect”. Who knows what Tidal or iTunes or other apps actually do between input and output. I have used my...

It is now a week since I last heard Hugo2 and I am still missing him. Neither Hugo1 nor Mojo sound so good anymore. I'm inclined to jump in and buy one but worried it might not perform as well as I remember. After all, absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder. Ian

Sadly the app description now says: " ** No longer supported - made available for legacy devices only ** " Dream over !

My ten days are up and Hugo2 has been posted on to Deftone. I have half a review typed up on my PC which I can post later but here are some of my findings: The Remote works well and is not as tacky as I had heard. Once the batteries are inserted it feels pretty solid and has all the necessary...

Well Hugo2 has arrived and has been so well packaged by Chord that I thought someone had sent me a new football to celebrate the restart of the EFL. Upon unpacking I see that no one has yet ventured to try the Remote. It and its batteries are still sealed. I probably won't use it either (or the...

Comments moved to a private discussion.

We know you meant to type lossy.

I ran the first iOS 11 public beta on an iPad pro 10.5 for 2 weeks without a single dropout. Used USB 3 CCK, TIDAL, MUSIC app and a Hugo 1. Similarly I tested the first development beta on an iPhone 7 for several days without dropouts. My daily device is an iPhone 6s+ and that is currently...

I ran all six 10.3.3 betas on my iPhone 6s+ without a single drop out but am now reluctant to install 10.3.3 final. Can anyone here confirm that 10.3.3 has solved their CCK dropouts and which iDevice and CCK they are using. Thanks

iOS 10.3.3 betas 3, 4 and now 5 don't seem to have this problem anymore. I have not experienced it since beta 2. Can't second guess Apple but the final could be any day now.

Yes it still works but: 1. It is no longer available for purchase through the App Store. 2. It does not run on iOS 11 beta 1 since 32 bit apps are not supported. All very sad.

A while back I gave Apple a lengthy & detailed description of the problem and their recent response was more promising: "Engineering has requested the following information in order to further investigate this issue: Please collect a sysdiagnose log and attach it to your bug report. Also, if...

Problem is still there with 10.3.3 beta 1. I managed 45 minutes before my sound muted. As usual my iPhone 6s+ still things it is playing.

Well I got that one wrong, at least partially. Apple have tonight released a 10.3.3 beta. I will try it as soon as the public beta is available.

Since Apple will release iOS 11 beta 1 in three weeks time at the WWDC I now don't expect non-beta users to get a fix before the iOS 11 general release in Autumn (the Fall). This time last year Apple messed up VPN for many iOS 9 users and didn't fix it until iOS 10. History will likely repeat...

As I was reading your post my 6s+ running 10.3.2 Final silenced my lightning output although the music app still thinks it's playing. So no fix yet. To anyone who is on iOS 10.2.1 - DO NOT UPDATE

Section 6 of the Chord Hugo 2 Manual (see link above or Chord's website) recommends users to protect Hugo 2 using an official Chord leather case!

iOS 10.3.2 beta 4 does not fix our problem. I am travelling without Hugo at the moment so can't test beta 5 which came out on Friday. (Can't get reply with quote to work ATM) @DavidW @miketise

Regarding song capacity you should expect 3 CDs to take up about 1GB. This assumes an average length CD (about 50 minutes) and storing data losslessly in iTunes ALAC format or offline in Tidal. Regarding the new CCK then no it is not worth taking the chance. I have two old style and two new...

......and I once managed 23 hours before the sound muted. At other times the phone has not managed a minute. It seems to be totally random.

Except that people using a powered USB3 connector also report the problem.

...but the more people who complain to Apple the better. Here is https://bugreport.apple.com/logon the link. Just use your normal Apple ID and password.

Remember that if you buy anything from Apple in-store or online you have 2 weeks to return it (used or unused) for a full refund.
