I presently use an astell kern 120 as a transport with 2 slots with the hugo 2 and it works well but some sort of all in one device with the same function would be wonderful

What HiFi Awards out on the 7th October.

Am guessing the Mojo, Qutest, and Hugo 2 will still be holding their respective positions. I wonder if the TT2 will get a temptations award, or a price range award of its own.

Good time to be looking though, because the other magazines will be running their awards anytime soon.

I didn’t expect so many people to be interested in 2Go. So I took a poor photo with my phone of this section of the catalog.


Di you get any price indication $$$ ??

Big question.

My hope is a Chord app rather than relying on 3rd party.


They do so much well, and such an innovative device deserves its own control.


That would be great. 3rd party DLNA apps shenanigans was the reason I sold my poly

I do hope it lives up to all our expectations and that the price is not a killer...

Optical wont get you more than 24/192. With an ethernet port you could also get rid of any network bridge you are using and go straight into the hugo2. The music server could, technically be miles away.

Not everybody wants a PC/Mac inside their living/listening room, with a keyboatd/monitor/mouse...

With network input (WiFi or copper ethernet) one can have their Roon or UPnP/DLNA server on the other side of the house... and just use network input as the 'endpoint'.. This is how thousands of Roon users use Roon everyday.

It becomes handy when you have more than one listening zone at home..

If you only have one listening zone and are happy with the PC/Mac in that space, then network input doesn't change much for you.
