It is only a direct interface for the 2GO; however, the digital outputs can be used to provide a WLAN or LAN connection when combined with other DACs from Chord Electronics or other manufacturers. Why is this so wonderful? It can turn any Legacy DAC into a Roon endpoint without a direct connection to a computer via USB. You no longer need to be tethered to your computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chord 2YU offers four digital outputs so it can be connected to any DAC or any other device with a digital input, and it can be connected to Chord's own Hugo M Scaler \/ Hugo TT2 to create a state-of-the-art streaming system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2YU connects directly to 2GO to add TOSLINK optical S\/PDIF, Coaxial RCA and\/or BNC (both 75 ohms) digital outputs, plus a cleverly integrated USB-A output. Note that compatibility does not work with other Chord products like the DAVE, Qutest, or Hugo 2 DAC. Like the Poly only works with the Mojo, in a similar fashion, the Chord 2YU is only compatible with the Chord Electronics 2GO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDragon Cable Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moon-audio.pro\/silver-dragon-toslink-digital-cable.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSilver Dragon Digital Toslink Cable\u003c\/a\u003e is one of our best-selling cables at Moon Audio and the perfect companion for the Chord 2YU.

For example, you can use the Hugo 2 as your primary headphone amplifier and send another digital output to your 2-channel or Home Theater system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. 2YU alone can also be used with PC or Mac via USB to create a high-quality USB-to-digital-audio converter for audio devices that accept a USB input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the 2GO, the 2YU is hand-made in the UK using aircraft-grade aluminum 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle data-emotion-css=\"r0a4hl\"\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"builder-block builder-194579b3bb6143438247fb9d9053d2ee builder-has-component css-r0a4hl\" builder-id=\"builder-194579b3bb6143438247fb9d9053d2ee\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"builder-text css-1qggkls\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect 2go to your choice of DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated sample rate converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low jitter design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro USB powered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle data-emotion-css=\"15g23kz\"\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"builder-block builder-b6a398d852744ca48e648e26503f5d4c builder-has-component css-15g23kz\" builder-id=\"builder-b6a398d852744ca48e648e26503f5d4c\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"builder-text css-1qggkls\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2yu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2yu user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawstring bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5V 2A Switching Micro USB power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType-A USB to Type-B USB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBNC to BNC cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 2Yu work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2Yu only works together with the 2Go.
