Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread
I like Chord DACs for the sound and I am OK with available functionality. Chord Ultima Pre 2 puzzles me with its ergonomics, that is true. I did want to get Mola Mola Makua with built in phono in order to streamline the system, but Mola Mola has no dealership in my country at all. Ultima...- ivano

Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread
My Blu2 had developed “hickups”, first noticed on last tracks of some CDs, it rapidly progressed during several weeks time and eventually the drive stopped reading TOC at all.

Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread
I have experienced some sonic degradation of my Blu mkII playing CDs after connection of 2go/2yu. It reverts back to normal when I switch 2yu off and degrades again when 2yu is switched on. That is both on USB and BNC connections. Several HF ferrites (same as recommended for use between Blu mkII...- ivano
