{"product_id":"chord-2go","title":"Chord 2go","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNetwork streamer and server for Hugo 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChord 2go is a music streamer and server that fixes to the Chord Hugo 2 and adds Ethernet and wireless streaming, plus playback from two microSD cards of up to 4 TB in total. It measures 50 × 100 × 21 mm and weighs 159 g, with a solid CNC-machined aluminium chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2go does not work on its own: to operate as a full streamer it requires a connection to a Hugo 2 (DAC, preamplifier and headphone amplifier) or to the Chord 2yu digital interface. It joins the unit through a docking and locking mechanism, for which two locating screws and an Allen key are included. With the Hugo 2, once the batteries are charged, every form of digital playback can run without external power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnections and services\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wireless connections, long-range 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 A2DP, are joined by a Gigabit Ethernet socket which, according to the manufacturer, works without any set-up. Wi-Fi joins an existing network or runs in hotspot mode, activated from the Gofigure app: in that case the 2go broadcasts its own network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2go is Roon Ready, DLNA-compliant as both server and renderer and AirPlay-ready; among the sources the page also names Tidal, Qobuz and internet radio. All audio interfaces are always on and switching is automatic: to move from one input to another it is enough to start playback from the chosen control app.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormats, storage and battery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat support runs from 44.1 kHz PCM up to 768 kHz, 16 to 32 bit, and from DSD64 to DSD256 as DoP, with bit-perfect and gapless playback. Among the file types the source lists WAV, FLAC, AIFF, OGG Vorbis, ALAC, WMA and MP3. Processing is handled by a triple-core audio processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two slots take microSD cards of 2 TB each and turn the Hugo 2 into an MPD-based music server. The internal battery gives about 10 hours of playback; inserting the Micro-USB charging cable activates desktop mode. Initial set-up and updates go through the free Gofigure app, for iOS and Android.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: requires a Chord Hugo 2 or a Chord 2yu.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWired network: Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWireless network: long-range 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (existing network or hotspot); Bluetooth 4.1 A2DP.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePlayback: Roon (endpoint), DLNA (server and renderer), AirPlay, Bluetooth, Tidal, Qobuz, internet radio.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFormats: PCM from 44.1 to 768 kHz, 16 to 32 bit; DSD from DSD64 to DSD256 as DoP; gapless.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFile types: WAV, FLAC, AIFF, OGG Vorbis, ALAC, WMA, MP3.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStorage: 2 microSD slots, up to 4 TB in total.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePower: internal battery, about 10 hours of playback; desktop mode with the Micro-USB cable inserted.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 50 × 100 × 21 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWeight: 159 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFinishes: black, silver.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncluded: drawstring bag, Micro-USB to USB Type-A cable, Ethernet cable, 2 locating screws, Allen key.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chord Electronics Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":42674324373693,"sku":"CHOELE2GO-B","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":42674324406461,"sku":"CHOELE2GO","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/products\/Chord-2go-su-videosell-03.webp?v=1676986667","url":"https:\/\/videosell.it\/en\/products\/chord-2go","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
