Part of the superb Hugo range of portable audio devices, 2go is a powerful wired or wireless, battery-enabled, go-anywhere streamer module by Chord Electronics, which connects to their Hugo 2 Portable DAC / Headphone Amplifier.

Featuring built-in microSD storage slots (up to 4TB maximum capacity), plus Roon, AirPlay, DLNA and much more. 2go brings the power, convenience and versatility of digital streaming to your Hugo 2 portable device.

2go is a high-performance streamer/server that transforms the Hugo 2 DAC into a fully featured Wi-Fi and Ethernet-enabled device with up to 4 TB of solid-state library playback, bringing the award-winning Hugo 2 DAC technology to network audio.

With 2x 2TB-rated microSD card slots for digital storage and playback, 2go enables Hugo 2 as a high-capacity digital music server (using MPD), in addition to its music streaming abilities. Crucially, when using 2go with Hugo 2, (once charged) all forms of digital playback can benefit from battery power alone, negating the need for external power supplies for the ultimate in purist audio.

2go contains highly advanced miniaturised electronic engineering that, in keeping with all Chord amplifiers and DACs, uses proprietary British technology. Combining 2go and Hugo 2 creates the most sonically advanced compact music streamer available today.

Wireless convenience (2.4GHz Wi-Fi and A2DP Bluetooth) combine with the stability and performance of wired (Gigabit) Ethernet connectivity, the latter offering set-up-free plug and play operation. 2go also benefits from comprehensive audio interfacing and offers Tidal, Qobuz and Internet radio playback with Spotify (and others) earmarked for the future.

2go is Roon Ready, offers gapless audio and DoP/Bit Perfect support, as well as being fully DLNA-compliant (server/renderer) and AirPlay-ready.

With 2go's auto-switching input function, every audio interface is always on and ready to go. Switching between inputs is as easy as pressing play on your chosen control point app. 2go convenience-switches between all its inputs automatically, giving a seamless user experience when playing music from different sources or even streaming services.
