Hi,
I tried to properly configure my setup (Chord Hugo 2 / 2GO + Mac) with Roon with out success.
It works but I can’t see “DSD native” (like in the picture No. 2 from Roon website).
And the PCM is indicated until 384kHz but the specs of Chord 2Go is: 44.1kHz – 768kHZ (16bit – 32bit) | DSD 64 to DSD 256 (via DoP). (Picture No. 1).
May I ask you for help please.
Best regards

You have the answer. DSD over PCM is only supported.
The Hugo2 only does 784 with a Chord mScaler or similar hardware.
Otherwise it maxes out @ 384.
Also FYI: Rob Watts (Chord) recommends not using 3rd party upsampling for best sound quality with Chord DACs.
I think you’ll find that using upsampling in Roon at best doesn’t improve the sound or make any difference and at worst it hampers it.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Thank you,
May I ask you how I can disable the upscaling on Roon and let the Hugo 2 performs it ?
Best regards,
You’re welcome.
It’s off by default in Roon.
Sample Rate conversion settings in Roon are found under the DSP tab.
It appears after you tap the volume icon
I run roon into my Hugo2Go with all processing off. Sounds amazing! Keep the path as simple as possible unless you need correction.
