    Five Stars – What Hi-Fi?


    "Astonishingly Revealing and Versatile"

    The 2go streamer/server from Chord Electronics transforms the abilities of the Hugo 2, adding both Ethernet and wireless streaming, plus 4 TB of microSD card storage to the award-winning DAC/pre/headphone amp.

    What Hi-Fi? gave the 2go its top rating of Five Stars, calling it "an astonishingly revealing and versatile music server/streamer that can deliver a level of clarity that it’s hard to match let alone better anywhere near this price. There’s no doubt that the 2go is a stunning achievement for such a small company."

    "Like any other piece of Chord equipment, Chord 2Go is a state-of-the-art network streamer. It’s perfect for all kinds of audiophile desktop setups, especially for space-limited setups," reports James Longman in his June 26, 2020 review for audioreputation.com.

    High Performance All the Way

    The 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. It brings the proven sound quality benefits of Chord's award-winning Hugo 2 DAC technology to network audio.

    The 2go benefits from having 2x 2 TB-rated microSD card slots for digital storage and playback, enabling 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.

    Highly Advanced Miniaturized Electronic Engineering

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

    Wireless Convenience

    Wireless convenience, featuring 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and A2DP Bluetooth, combines 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 also Roon Ready, offers gapless audio and DoP/Bit Perfect support, as well as being fully DLNA-compliant (server/renderer) and AirPlay-ready.

    A key feature of 2go is its auto-switching input function: every audio interface is always on, therefore switching between inputs is as easy as hitting ‘play’ on the 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.

    Five Stars – What Hi-Fi?

    "The 2go/Hugo 2 pairing isn’t as slick as rivals to use or set-up, and needs a good amount of care in partnering.

    "But, work around these things and you’ll have an astonishingly revealing and versatile music server/streamer that can deliver a level of clarity that it’s hard to match let alone better anywhere near this price. There’s no doubt that the 2go is a stunning achievement for such a small company."

    - What Hi-Fi?, April 24, 2020


    "Like any other piece of Chord equipment, Chord 2Go is a state-of-the-art network streamer. It’s perfect for all kinds of audiophile desktop setups, especially for space-limited setups. It’s also a great option for traveling, but it’s not exactly portable (due to the size of the combo). 2Go is very capable and allows you to stream hi-res audio in many different ways. If the wi-fi connection is unavailable, you can use the internal storage (up to 4TB)."
