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

Had a chat with my AD here in the UK.

Apparently there’s a whole bunch of 2Go units that are good to go but Chord have decided to get one last firmware update installed on all devices before launch.

Said launch is supposed to be taking place this week.

“One last firmware update”. Famous last words!

I love the sound quality of the Hugo 2. It is the best I've heard and the best I own.

Being able to take my own music, via SD card, with H2 is fantastic.

The size of H2 for portability---- I've taken it on my work travels and on my lap on the plane works just fine.

Today's flight: H2 plus the Beyer T1.2 and Anna Netrebko's voice:

wow.

The detail is amazing.

From Manual: TIP We recommend using a 2go case to protect the connection between the two devices

Sound like one may be in the works :)

i didn't try to break the units i played with at canjam nyc, but the connection was not something designed lightly. it's like ikea furniture: there's a pin that screws into one side (presumably H2) and slides into the other (presumably 2go) - and then there are hex/alan screws that tighten and lock the pins in place. it's not a "casual hookup", as it were. it's marriage :wink:.

Thanks for the manual. According to the manual, Bluetooth on 2go is always on, but Hugo 2 also has Bluetooth radio, which one is working actually?

And I usually prevent to turn on both 2.4Ghz WiFi and Bluetooth on same device, but it looks like 2go can't turn off Bluetooth.

This might be a stupid question.

But wouldn’t transmitting data from an iPhone to the 2GO cause more noise than using a cable from the iPhone directly to the Hugo 2 as now an other potential source of noise is added?

As you can see:
iPhone + Hugo 2
iPhone + 2GO + Hugo 2

So in the best case, the 2GO might rival the iPhone + Hugo 2 but most likely the 2GO will add something as it is an additional component (and thus an other potential source of noise) in the chain?

Why would iPhone > 2GO > Hugo 2 induce noise?

Mojo / Poly owners say the Poly is the least noise and best sounding source for Mojo. .. Alternately using a cable to connect iPhone to Hugo 2, induces RFI noise along the USB cable. Then again the USB input on the Hugo 2 is noise filtered.

I suppose it's not impossible to imagine the 2Go will introduce noise, but it's unlikely. Or I think that, but I don't know. I think for the 2Go to induce noise, it would need to be doing massive calculations. Or a large noisy chip. … However 2Go connecting to Hugo 2 would mean the USB connection is noise filtered on the Hugo 2.

Forget jitter which someone wrongly pointed out. The Hugo 2 will re-clock the incoming signal, so no need to worry about jitter.

Darko copying my posts for his own content - shameless.
