Is the type of cable needed to connect Blu2/Mscaler to Hugo 2 among those cables available in the just announced promotion (only in the UK) offering a free Chord Company cable with each new Hugo 2?

A while back I bought an Aurender N100H but found the need to use an iPad as the user interface a bit cumbersome and for simplicity I currently use my Questyle QP1R DAP as a music server for my DAVE via a 10 foot Optical Toslink cable with excellent results. I am looking to sell the Aurender and buy another DAP that has WiFi to stream from the likes of TIDAL or eventually Qobuz if it ever comes to the USA. The QP1R is also used on the go with an IEM. It has two micro SD cards so there is plenty of storage. The GUI and operating system is clunky and requires use of haptic touch keys to scroll through file lists and slow scrolling of track names is annoying. The DAP can play 192 hi res but has no WiFi.
Anyone have a suggestion for a TOTL DAP replacement with optical out and WIFI that has as much storage and equivalent or better SQ and friendlier GUI ???
Thanks

STR AFAIK the cable from h2 to scaler is not in the offer. You need stock dual bnc that come with scaler, 2 bnc to rca adaptors and a twin rca to 3.5mm adaptor or cable. I prefer the cable option. I am currently collecting these items for my h2 to connect to scaler when it arrives. There is a bnc to 3.5mm cable on offer but i don't see how this could be used as you need twin bnc not single.

funnily enough Matt & I were in contact regarding which way was best to connect Hugo-2>Mscaler after it was raised in the thread by STR-1, Matt informed me that he had been in contact with Chord Co. regarding cables but hadn't had time to chase things up, so me being me I contacted Chord Co. and asked what the state of play was regarding a cable to connect Hugo-2 to Mscaler/Blu2?... they informed me that they had made a connector for not only the Hugo-2>Mscaler but for other Chord products as well, I've edited the email entire and left the relevant bits & links:-
Chord Co. reply: We have been working with Chord Electronics to ensure that we can offer these as a product and to the best quality and highest standard.
There a couple of options we currently offer:-
The Dual BNC to BNC for connecting the BLU MKII to the DAVE, or for the Hugo TT 2 to the newly released M-Scaler. These digital cables transfer high frequency data so need to be made as a matched pair.
The other option is the 3.5mm Minijack to 2 BNC cable. This will allow you to connect the coax connection of the Hugo 2 to the new M-Scaler.
Each of these are available in each of our ranges from Clearway to Sarum-T.
This means we can make them suitable for portable audio, or for more higher end systems.
For cable enquiries contact: Sales@chord.co.uk

for those of us in the US, Moon Audio is also selling appropriate cables for this.
Interesting. Can't find dual bnc to 3.5 anywhere though on chord co?

probably why Chord Co. have stated to contact them direct regarding 'cable enquiries'... also, it is a new cable(s) so probably has to be photographed in all the different cable ranges, the marketing added, then it all has to be uploaded to the website.
give people a chance, I only asked about the development today & struck lucky by finding out that things are ready.

I tried to say earlier on iPad but post locked up after four words, then wouldn't edit or delete, I'll try again on PC...……
Either I'm having a bad day, or your maths are a bit suspect!
I used a currency converter USD>GBP, Paypal would be in Dollars.,, if you're having probs mate, email them.
Not currencies, just first amount minus 2nd didn't equal third (either currency!) No probs, I was just making a joke, it's clear on their website.
PS - OT First points of season for you tomorrow?
