I'm using the Hugo 2 & 2Go combo on a daily basis at home and on the go with a pair of DCA Stealth headphones. Awsome combination.

[@andrewgiovannini6613]

Love your reviews, thank you. I ordered an open-box Poly, I agree the price is ridiculous, but the Mojo 2 is arguably the best DAC/AMP under $1000, just for its versatility mixed with great sound and EQ DSP alone. If Chord ever comes out with a Mojo 3 with wireless built in, USB C proper for all ports, and proper Bluetooth 5.0+ with APTX (all the codecs), (and maybe a 4.4 port for convenience, even if it's not really balanced) I'd pay $1500 for that. It would be a killer product. 🤞

Thanks for the kind words deeply appreciated 🐅 Definitely a missed opportunity, not integrating Poly into the Mojo two

[@kiers2320]

I still love my mojo2, Great stuff as always. Enjoy.

The Hugo2+ 2Go has been my endgame portable system for over a year now. And, I expect it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. Expensive, yes. Tho used, not to bad. But in the end it'll save me money on upgrading to the DAP du Jour.

I use my Poly with the iPhone, set up hotspot on iPhone, connect Poly and stream via AirPlay.

[@AdamKowalczyk-xy3qq]

And we are still waiting for Riviera AIC-10 review...:(

[@ReverendDr.Thomas]

I may consider investing in Chord mobile products if and when they begin using USB-C jacks.

[@ConvinceMeAudio]

Mojo does

[@kiers2320]

Treat yourself 👻

[@andrewgiovannini6613]

Mojo 2 has USB C for data, not for charging tho.

[@sameermana2003]

have you tried the shanling h7? it appears to have the same functionality as chord poly and mojo combined but i think it's cheaper and has more power.

[@ConvinceMeAudio]

I was always enthusiastic about the M8, but unfortunately beyond a light look I’ve not reviewed any of their products. I hope it comes in soon.

[@solrq8349]

i ordered a susvara and am thinking of going full build portable susvara system with Enelum HPA-23RM with Qudelix 5k

[@ConvinceMeAudio]

Absolutely horrific decision, mate. That’s not a good set up at all. The amplifier is fine, but you need something with a better DAC, that’s not going to cut it. It’s going to sound appalling.

[@solrq8349]

@@ConvinceMeAudio good to know thanks mate

[@skiiizo]

I didn't catch the name of the app on the app store. Did he say : Glider ?

[@ConvinceMeAudio]

Glider

@@ConvinceMeAudio Thank you

Great interaction. So, just sub... keep up the great work. To me, 2go has a horrible softwares. I have it, but cannot recommend it. Its simple horribly buggy softwares.
