I have a Chord Mojo/poly which I am trying to connect into a 272.
The 272 is presently an input source into a 282 via it’s lineout so its preamp isn’t being used.
I’ve taken what I assumed would be the easiest route to connection which is 3.5mm to 2 RCA which I have connected from the Mojo headphone socket to the 272 Analogue Input 1. However there’s no sound coming out of either the 272, it’s headphone socket or the speakers when analogue 1 selected via the app.
Any thoughts? Can’t really think of anything beyond a faulty 3.5 to 2 RCA…
And there’s another question - why have a 272 as source and a Mojo/Poly? Wouldn’t it be better to have an NDX2 if going the Naim route, or a streamer and dac if going a non-Naim way?
Yes you are right about the 282 but I just don’t have a 3.5mm to din handy, the 272 is plugged in via din and I can’t be bothered with faffing around with the remote to switch inputs.
On another note thinking about getting a Hugo 2 and using as a pure headphone amp from the 282 - does this stack up well against the headline for example?
Probably not, but I don’t really get using the Hugo2 just as a headphone amp. If you are going NDX2 as source then a standalone headphone amp would be my choice.
Yes sorry I would be using it as mainly a portable device, maybe with the 2go) which I would then appropriate as a headphone amp when needed. It would save me buying a separate headphone amp. Unless there are headphone amps superior to what the Hugo 2 can offer but substantially cheaper (say sub 500) ?
Tbh I’m considering doing the same at some point. The hugo2 and 2go would eliminate some gear in my chains and give me some versatility when I’m able to physically be back in the office
