Can someone explain what's an M-scalar and why tpeople are mad that it's not in the TT2? Thanks

Is there any update on the US price for the Hugo tt 2?

If that's the case, then I'm still not sure why the batteries were removed in the first place. I'm guessing it has to do with the amount of power Chord wanted in the TT2. It seems like Chord wanted a dac/amp that would power any headphones and possible efficient speakers. If so, then I guess it...

Thanks for the reply. I was just curious because I really liked the battery feature of the original TT and thought that would be carried to the next model. However, if removing the batteries improved the SQ and allowed for a more powerful amplifier, then the change was justified. I just wonder...

How come the batteries were removed from the Hugo TT2? That was one of the best features in the original TT. what kind of battery pack would work with the TT2?

Does anyone know the price for U. S? Thanks

Is there any update on price for the U.S.? THanks

Music is the medium through which our souls speak. Music is Freedom. Music is Passion. Music is Truth. Only an obsession can produce and reproduce it correctly. The channel through which we listen to it is almost as important and intimate as the music itself. The Susvara represents Hifiman's...

Jason,   Thank you brother. I won't lie, I bought the Yggy and Rag (which haven't came in yet because the Rag is backordered) but I started to wonder if I missed out because this is relatively cheaper than some of the other dac/amps that I wanted that were well over $5000. However, after...

Idk...I gotta call Oppo cause mine gets so hot it burns my hand. I have to put a fan next to it to cool it. 

Is that a good thing or bad thing in your opinion?

  I see; however, I DO like added color in my music. Have you ever tried the chord hugo? In my opinion, the dac in hugo runs circles around the dac in the ha 1. I'm thinking about getting that instead. I'll have to admit, I do not like a completely transparent sound signature or dac. In the...

Thanks for the clarification! I think on my next paycheck I'll invest in a balanced cable. I emailed oppo about my rubber smell lol

How much does a balanced cable increase the sound quality? Right now I'm just using the standard cable that came with the Hifiman. Is it worth the $150 investment to buy the balanced cable? Also, it makes this clicking sound whenever I plug in or take out a headphone  input. Does this happen to...

I'm using Hifiman he 500 through a usb a-b cable to computer. Playing some hifi files like wav, flac from hd tracks. xRelicX how has the oppo performed for you?

Hello All,   I seriously need help from those that own the Oppo Ha-1. I've just received the Ha-1 and it heats up like crazy and produces this smell that smells like burnt rubber. Has anyone else encountered this? Also, I'm a little disappointed in the sound quality. To me, it sounds mediocre...

Can anyone suggest a comparable dac/amp combo to the hugo that's like $1500? I can't get myself to pay $2400 for this. I'm open to suggestions like schitt dacs and amps. Thanks 

I have the chord hugo and the hd 650. From my experience, the 650s on the hugo still sound dark, and have what others have called the " veil of sennheiser". In short, they are AMAZING! I've never heard the 650s sound so clear, precise, and musical. However, using the 650s will not get the best...

Do you guys think that attaching the Chord hugo to the Schiit ragnarok is a good idea? I'm looking to put together an affordable desktop rig, and I'm wodering if this is a good setup. If not, can anyone make suggestions as to a better dac/amp in the under $4000 price range? Thanks. 

$3000!!!!!! What!!!!!! No way. I'll pass. @Must lust eny LOL! I don't have time to read this whole post so I just asked the question straight up. 

Does anyone know the price yet? 

I heard about that, but will the 2qute have the same or better sound quality and be able to drive headphones as well? I have some pretty demanding headphones, which is why I need the ragnarok. What do you mean in a "desktop case"? It looks like it's just a DAC. If it's just a dac I think it...
