Description

Battery-enabled wireless streamer for Hugo 2 — Roon, AirPlay, DLNA and microSD storage. 2go is a powerful wired/wireless battery-enabled go-anywhere streamer with built-in microSD storage slots (4 TB max), Roon, AirPlay, DLNA and much more. It attaches directly to Hugo 2, sharing its battery and extending its connectivity without any additional cabling.

Technical background

2go attaches directly to Hugo 2, adding a full streaming engine with Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth, and two microSD slots. It passes bit-perfect audio — including up to DSD256 via DoP — directly into Hugo 2's FPGA, with Roon Ready certification, AirPlay, DLNA, and MPD support. Combined with 2yu, 2go can also stream to any third-party DAC.

Design story

Chord Electronics was founded in Maidstone, Kent in 1989 by John Franks, whose background in aerospace electronics shaped every design decision. Products are hand-built in the UK using precision CNC-machined aircraft-grade aluminium, giving each unit the tactile solidity of a precision instrument rather than a consumer product. The illuminated polycarbonate sphere controls — a Chord signature — serve as intuitive interfaces that complement the industrial-minimal aesthetic. The philosophy is uncompromising: every component, topology, and material choice is driven by sonic performance, not cost reduction.
