Chord 2go Wireless Bluetooth/WiFi Network Digital Audio Streamer for Chord Hugo 2 / 2yu - Natural Silver

A key feature of the 2go is its auto-switching input function: every audio interface is always on, therefore switching between inputs is as easy as hitting ‘play’ on the chosen control point app; 2go convenience-switches between all its inputs automatically, giving a seamless user experience when playing music from different sources or even streaming services.

Compatibility

In order for the 2go to perform as a fully functional streamer, a connection with the Hugo 2 (DAC/Preamp/Headphone amp) or 2yu is required.

Wireless Connectivity

Long-range 2.4GHz WiFi allows 2go to connect to an existing 2.4GHz WiFi network. Hotspot mode (activated within the Gofigure app), allows 2go to broadcast its own WiFi network with SSID and password in the eventuality that the device cannot connect to a static network. The 2go can also be connected via Bluetooth 4.1 A2Dp.

Adding the Chord 2yu to the 2go

The Chord 2yu is a digital interface that connects to the Chord 2go, effectively turning the 2go/2yu into a fully-functional, standalone music streamer and server. It is only a direct interface for the 2go, however, the digital outputs can be used to provide a WLAN or LAN connection when combined with other DACs from Chord Electronics or other manufacturers. Note that the 2yu does not connect directly to the Hugo 2, but rather the 2go, giving the 2go an effective interface with digital outputs.

The Chord 2YU offers four digital outputs so it can be connected to Chord's own Hugo M Scaler or Hugo TT2 to create a state-of-the-art streaming system. We would recommend the Black Dragon 75ohm Mini Coax Cable to connect the 2go-2yu together with the Hugo 2 as it enables you to connect the 2go-2yu to multiple DACs in a 2-channel setup. For example, you can use the Hugo 2 as your primary headphone amplifier and send another digital output to your 2-channel or Home Theater system.

Chord’s Hugo 2 digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and headphone amplifier continue to inspire a revolutionary high fidelity in portable music listening from the innovative makers at Chord Electronics in Kent England. There are tons of performance improvements with headphones such as timing accuracy, noise reduction, and dynamic range. Stereo and speaker listeners will feel just as much as they hear with the Chord Hugo 2 DAC and amplifier.

The Chord Hugo 2 features the most advanced field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and highly advanced watts transient aligned (WTA) filters which brings vast improvements to the Hugo 2's sound with headphones, IEMs, or speakers.
