We appear to have a consensus! When something is designed so particularly to work with it it would seem foolish not to try, and not a huge investment if I can find used even better, Thanks for sharing.
Hugo 2 streaming 2go?
I have been using my Chord Hugo 2 DAC with a Lavicable to my Apple phone as a headphone amp primarily with my Focal Clear headphones. I purchased these components a couple of years ago to make working from home a little more palatable, My interconnect has now stopped working and when I contacted Lavicable they noted they no longer make that cable, but could possibly repair.
That got me thinking maybe rather than finding another cable or adaptor and then connecting to an less than ideal source I may get a real streamer, Chord have the 2go that seems like a good option but it is about $2k CDN new…20x the cable $ or $750US used. I have a better DAC and streamer in my main system so this would be only for headphone listening independently, I use Tidal through Roon primarily.
Is there a better appropriate option than a Chord 2go for my streamer? As the rest of my system is merely a paper weight until I resolve the source or connection to.
