Chord Electronics
2YU
2yu is the one product in this group that is not for a Chord DAC owner — it is for someone who wants 2go's streaming in front of something else. It clips onto a 2go and gives it the outputs 2go does not have on its own: optical, coaxial on both RCA and BNC, and a USB-A output, so the stream can reach any DAC with a digital input, or a Hugo M Scaler ahead of one. There is a sample rate converter inside that quietly downsamples when an output cannot carry what is arriving, and a low-jitter clock to keep the timing honest. Hand-built in aircraft-grade aluminium like the rest, with the same four illuminated spheres. A 2go is required; 2yu alone does nothing.
