Can someone send a link for the dual coaxial in adapter in the usa?

Will the hugo 2 access both coaxial inputs if set in coax 2 with said adapter connected?

Looking to obtain highest data signal and I assume this is the best way.

These are what I use to connect my Blu2 to my Hugo2:

If you have a dual coax signal (so far, Blu2 is the only source I know of that does that), Hugo2 will auto sense and switch to dual BNC input mode.

Otherwise, you can independently select BNC1 and BNC2 as inputs, with each BNC input being a traditional digital input (up to 354kHz I believe)

I think it might have been the Audioscience review. Much was made of the drivers required for windows which was then withdrawn later as a criticism but the review was not altered. Quite unfair in my opinion. But then the guy has an agenda about nothing beyond a cheap adequate dac being needed anyway.
Then, most people's ears should discredit his narrow agenda.

So 354 kzh is the max output for hugo 2?

Thought it was double?

Again, apologies id this was discussed. I havent read all 12 thousand threads

This can be confusing, so no worries. The Hugo2 actually supports two BNC inputs (BNC1 and BNC2) via the single dual coax connector. Each maxes out at ~350kHz, which is the max (as I understand it) that digital sources can typically support.

Since the mScaler needed to get up to 700kHz++, Rob added dual BNC support to the DAVE and Hugo2. When you connect a source that is 700kHz++ (and as of now, the only one I'm aware of is the Blu2), the Hugo2 and DAVE auto detects it and puts itself into dual BNC mode, where 1/2 the signal is coming down one BNC cable, and 1/2 the signal is coming down the other.

So the Hugo2 can support up to 2 traditional digital BNC inputs and can switch between them (up to ~350kHz, I don't recall the exact value), or 1 dual BNC input (up to 768kHz) from a Blu2

We could possibly see the 2go at the munich show. fingers crossed.
I just hope they don't tell us too early. Remember the Hugo2 release last year? Didn't many suffer waiting for that dish to fall into our hands. Far be it for me to tell Chord how to conduct business, but, I only hope they can hold off the releasea announcement until ready.
