The Chord 2YU is a digital interface that connects to the Chord 2GO, effectively turning the 2GO/2YU into a fully-functional, standalone music streamer.
2yu is a digital interface that connects with 2go to create a network bridge for use with a DAC, DAC-equipped device or the Hugo M Scaler. 2yu connects directly to 2go to add TOSLINK optical S/PDIF, coaxial and BNC (both 75 ohms) digital outputs, plus a cleverly integrated USB-A output.
2yu boasts 2,000 MIPS (million instructions per second) of processing power, an integrated sample rate converter, plus a low-jitter audio phase lock loop. Highly flexible in its potential applications, 2go with 2yu is also ideal for installers wishing to create a discreet remote Roon streaming solution: the duo can be wired into an Ethernet port to provide streaming to a system in any room.
Like 2go, 2yu is also hand-made in the UK using aircraft-grade aluminium and the same high-quality manufacturing processes inherent in all Chord Electronics products. Like the Hugo 2, 2yu features four polychromatic spherical controls governing output selection, power, mute and dim functions.
Compatibility:
In order for 2yu to inherit streaming/music transport capabilities or function as an audio interface, a connection with 2go is required.

Micro USB (5v 1amp minimum required) – through 2go
PCM and DSD support:
44.1kHz – 768kHZ | DSD 64 to DSD 256 (Dependant on output)
Sample rate converter:
Integrated, automatic downsampling is provided if a higher sample rate is being played than the output can support.
Digital audio outputs:
USB Type-A (44.1kHz – 768kHz / DSD 256)
BNC Coax (44.1kHz – 192kHz /DSD 64)
