Is it possible to access and play SdCard data from the 2Go using Bluetooth only rather than a WiFi connection? If so, how?

Only through GoFigure.
All the MPD software and uPNP software I've ever used or seen uses the IP address. Only GoFigure has the ability to connect to 2go via Bluetooth for data purposes.
Thanks, will try. Shame the interface is so rudimentary.
Can someone kindly tell me the best way to setup the SdCard on GoFigure - must one construct playlists to browse data?

There should be an option on GoFigure to build playlists. I don't have my 2go with me, but the button is pretty easy to find. You'll have to create playlists for each SD card bank. It will take a while depending on how may albums you have. It's not the greatest or easiest way to navigate your music.
This is assuming you are on the latest firmware.
Thanks, was able to get it working on 32gb card, now I need to get it working on a 1tb card. The GoFigure interface is...wow, inelegant.
Another issue - I'm trying to connect using the hotspot connection over either HIFI Cast or BubbleUpnp. Is it doable?
I use BubbleUPnP with my phone as the hotspot for SD card playback.
This is my go-to setup when out and about.
Once the phone and the 2go are talking to each other BubbleUPnP does the rest. Your music is immediately available through a pretty decent interface.
Using the Bluetooth connection is extremely slow to connect and the GoFigure interface is clumsy. To use this you will have to construct playlists for every piece of music on every SD card you use. These playlists are fixed and cannot be changed on the fly. You can only access the whole playlist and you cannot see the track names within it. There is a facility in GoFigure to construct these playlists but the playlist names are very unwieldy indeed. It is still not obvious that GoFigure will handle special characters (including but not only common diacritic marks) without making a total mess. Then each time you connect with Bluetooth GoFigure has to load up all these playlists for the whole selected SD card - a process that is very very slow indeed over Bluetooth.

However, BubbleUPnP doesn't seem to support gapless. Hi-Fi Cast does support gapless, but I'm unable to get it to work except through my home WiFi. I'm now trying Neutron, which does support gapless.
Bluetooth I'm indeed totally forgetting about.
Edit - managed to get it all working via Neutron with 2Go as hotspot, but only using my Cayin N6ii as the control rather than my phone....it'll do.
Sorry for the questions but....am I right in thinking that Hugo2Go cannot act as wired DAC so long as 2Go is attached?
I would say not since those ports are used by the 2go.
That's what I thought, just wondering about the coax to USB option, though.

Yes. Coax and toslink are still selectable and active. How you get said signals to ports your choice.
I have had no trouble with gapless playback using BubbleUPnP on my Galaxy Note Ultra. I don't recall having to set anything up or change any settings anywhere, it just worked.
This article (https://darko.audio/2020/05/what-is-gapless-playback/) goes into gapless playback in some detail and specifically mentions BubbleUPnP as a solution to the issue.
