Quality of Life Improvements
Unfortunately, new products mean new issues. Just like when the Chord Poly came out for the Mojo, so too did we run into some connection issues with the 2Go (for the Hugo 2 DAC). But that's why we have updates and Chord has delivered yet again. The latest update should solve a lot of the connection issues you might be having (if any), and Chord does a great job in continuing support for their product lines long after they've been on the market.
