Paired with the 2go, Chord’s 2yu offers an intriguing take on a premium digital source
-

Streamer | ₹49,990
We first reviewed Chord’s 2go streamer module a little more than a year ago, partnered with the company’s Award-winning portable DAC, the Hugo 2. And found it to be a spectacular performer that was as at home in the home as it was for use out and about. What this new 2yu digital interface module does is take the 2go’s digital output and offer it up in USB Type-A, optical, coaxial and BNC form.
Note that the 2go itself doesn’t work without either the Hugo 2 DAC or 2yu connected to it. Pair it with the 2yu and you’ll still need an external DAC in your system to get a sound, however. It’s also worth knowing that the 2go/2yu pairing needs to be powered, so using it out and about is off the menu.
More than a streamer
The Chord 2go is a hugely ambitious design, and way more than just a basic DLNA music streamer. It has two micro-SD card slots, which together can handle up to 4TB of stored music files, provided you can source suitably large capacity cards. The great thing about being able to store music is that the Chord works as a server, so any other device on the same network can play those music files too.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe
There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
