Just what I was looking for. Seems like the TH900 and LCD-X are the best match for the Hugo.

Thanks for the responses. I'll take a look at the AK's and the fiiO units. Just wanted to get a feel of what you guys were using as DAPs.

What DAP are you guys using with the Hugo? My iPod classic died on me and I'm looking for a recommendation on DAPs. Currently I'm using my MBP/Audivana+/Hugo/various Cans. Thanks in advance

I plan to take my mbp, Audirvana +, chord Hugo and LCD-Xs on my next deployment, so that is what I would recommend. Cheers!

Thank you!

Thanks for all the responses thus far. The X's will be under my X-Mas tree:evergreen_tree::smile:. Cat wait to pair it up with the Hugo. Cheers!

Comfort is a plus along with sound quality. Thanks! Any cable upgrades?

Plan to pick up a pair of X's to go with my Hugo, but i'm kind of on the fence between all the above 1000 cans....so many choices. I pray the X's are that good versus the other contenders on the market and I don't regret my purchase.  Cheers! 

So this is the can that you would recommend for EDM, R&B, and HipHop versus the other summit-fi cans

I'm kind of in the same boat wonder which can is better with the Hugo: TH900 or LCD XC/X/3. Especially one that have a solid bottom end!

I have the old M50s and the Momentums and I would recommend the Momentums over the M50s. A great sounding everyday on-the-go headphone. 

The Hugo has arrived and all I can say is WOW! What a solid piece of audio equipment. It shines at whatever I throw at it, especially red book rips. I have no regrets of my purchase. Happy listening! 

Very solid hip-hop album. 

So is it safe to say that the sound quality is awesome, but the OEM cable is cumbersome. Also, how does the 900 compare to its sibling (600)?  

In the market for great headphones to pair with my chord Hugo. I've been looking at all the summit-fi cans and read great reviews about the Th-900, etc... Would the fostex pair nice with the Hugo and should I recable them. I listen to mostly urban music and 90% of my music is high-res quality...

Just ordered the Hugo in black along with the Moon_Audio silver dragon USB cable. :smile: Can't wait to fire that bad boy up! * any headphone suggestions?

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I'll be ordering the Hugo in the next couple of minutes from Moon-Audio. Can't wait to be blown away.

A lot of praise about the Chord Hugo over the net and ive been drooling over it for months. I'm just trying to justify the cost to play hip hop/rap & R&B ALAC FILES. I would connect it to a rMBP using Audivana Plus. I currently have a USB explorer DAC and abundance of sub $500 cans. Just looking...

It would be nice if we didn't have so many choices to choose from. We all want the best, but every couple of months a new product hits the market with outrages claims.  Sometimes this hobby drives me crazy, but I still find a way to love it. I guess ill wait on the review from the Headphone...

Seems like a winner! I am curious to know how it compares to the plethora of other small portable USB DACs. ie: Meridian Explorer, Audio Quest Dragonfly, HRT, etc....

I agree!

How does the DT1350 sound in comparison to the M-100, QC-15, or Momentums? I agree that the comfort on the 1350's can be fatiguing but the sound is great.

Anyone compared the DT1350's to the T5"s. I have been eye balling the T5's for some time and truing to convince myself whether to get them or keep my 1350's. Wondering how much of a increase are they over the 1350's.
