THE 2ND (PZA)
Portable music player/streamer
The 2go streamer/server transforms the capabilities of the Hugo 2, adding Ethernet and wireless streaming, plus 4TB of microSD card storage to the award-winning DAC/pre/headphone amp.
2go is a high-performance streamer/server that transforms the Hugo 2 DAC into a full-featured Wi-Fi and Ethernet-enabled device with up to 4TB of solid-state library playback, bringing the proven sound quality benefits of our award-winning Hugo 2 DAC technology to network audio.
2go benefits from two 2TB microSD card slots for digital storage and playback, enabling Hugo 2 to function as a high-capacity digital music server (using MPD) in addition to its music streaming capabilities. Crucially, when using 2go Hugo 2 (once charged), all forms of digital playback can benefit from battery power alone, eliminating the need for external power supplies for the ultimate in audio purism.
2go contains highly advanced miniaturized electronic engineering that, in keeping with all our amplifiers and DACs, utilizes patented British technology. Adding 2go to Hugo 2 creates the most sonically advanced compact music streamer available today.
Wireless convenience (2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and A2DP Bluetooth®) is combined with the stability and performance of wired (Gigabit) Ethernet connectivity, the latter offering plug-and-play operation with no configuration required. 2go also benefits from a comprehensive audio interface and offers Tidal, Qobuz, and Spotify (and others) internet radio playback for the future. 2go is also Roon Ready, offering gapless audio and DoP/Bit Perfect support, as well as being fully DLNA (server/renderer) compatible and AirPlay compatible.
A key feature of 2go is its auto-switching input function: each audio interface is always on, so switching between inputs is as easy as pressing 'play' in your chosen control point app. 2go's convenience switches between all your inputs automatically, providing a seamless user experience when playing music from different sources or even streaming services.
