Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

[Matt Bartlett]

The two batteries are completely isolated from each other? So if my H2 runs for 1,000 hours on a charge today with a USB audio input, then when I plug the 2go in, it'll run for 1,000 hours still? In theory?

Doody

Yes the batteries are isolated so H2 will run for the same amount of time with or without 2Go connected.

Thanks. The question I have is - does running the Hugo2 and 2Go make the Hugo2 work harder and use up more battery than using the Hugo2 without the 2Go?

No it doesn't. 2Go uses the USB input on Hugo2 so it will use the same amount of power as if you used the USB input with say a computer or other USB device.

Initial thoughts on setup:

• High quality packaging. Not that is the reason to buy!
• Had a very very slight difficulty getting the pins in. Just be gentle to not cross thread.
• The two units together do have a some weight
• If you have the Poly the setup is a breeze
• Including Roon but came up as Uncertified

• First impression is that it reacts faster with GoFigure
• Will be testing with Campfire Cascade and Focal Elear

More to come. A beautiful piece of kit! Worth the wait.

Some thoughts:

• My MojoPoly rig includes an ALO CV5 Tube Amp. You can kind of see it in the picture 2 posts ago. This is my daily mobile travel rig. Yes, a bit heavy for a mobile solution but fine for me.
• I have at times used the H2 as a travel rig in the Van Nuys case. Maybe outside of what one might consider mobile.
• The H2 2go is best described as transportable. Based both on the size and weight. I do hope @ChordElectronics will release a case for the combo. The User Guide kind on infers that. If they do I will travel with it and an iPad/Tidal in Hotspot mode. But only use when stationary.
• Sound... to me always so subjective. In the couple of hours I have used it so far it has been MacBook Pro - Roon/Tidal Masters / WiFi. The H2 sound is without compromise with the 2go. Will try ethernet, SD card soon.

@Matt Bartlett @Mojo ideas one question... which should/could have the better result... BT through 2go or BT in the H2?

Dear Chord,
Please don't forget us audiophiles in India!
Waiting on my 2go from headphonezone to help me out during this nationwide lockdown.
Maybe you could get it to us faster by declaring it as medical equipment....! Social distancing and self isolation would become soooooo much easier.

2Go arrived. Had a major headache attaching it to Hugo. Simply would not attach with the support bars in place. Solution in the end was to unwind the grub screws from their shipped position and then it slipped into place very easily. Just posting in case others have same issue.
