I had a level of incredulousness when adding 5 ferrites to my laptop->hugo2 usb link made it sound better. So, it was a revelation that Hugo2 (and all DACs frankly, no matter how isolated they are) have a degree of succeptibility to analog RF on the USB. My laptop was probably spewing all kinds of RF willy nilly into the usb transceiver. So I knew that ferrites were improving my laptop source to feed a lower noise USB signal. Sorta like getting a $5000 streamer for $30.
So, yes, I hope 2go is super clean ..but I think you are paying for convenience, not SQ. Perhaps. Would be nice to have Chord prove that a Hugo2+2Go is the ultimate.
I used the Mojo in various configurations with various cables for 2 years before getting Poly. There ain’t no noises, perceptible RF, harshness, etc (unless my phone is very close) and the sound is absolutely the best I’ve every heard Mojo. Particularly using Roon. Poly itself (on battery) does not seem to inject any unwanted noise into Mojo. I hope 2Go is similar.
