Added Audioquest Jitterbug and Bravo Audi to my Hugo.
Net effect is smoother sound and a sweeter vocal range.
About $100 for the two items.
Nice, what tube are you using?

Does anyone know if Hugo or TT output bandwidth is limited (ultrasonic frequencies have been filtered)? I've read that a Naim power amp I'm considering does not like a full bandwidth input. Thanks.
Why should they be,, its one of the key factors in music timing that you brain can in fact detect higher frequencies than 20Khz, we cant hear it but its make the timing better.
Buy a different brand instead if it cant handle wide frequency bandwidth, then it is not a good amp, and an old circuit design.

Dear Rob, out of interest what is the limit on the Hugo TT 50kHz or 60kHz? I read Naim preamps roll off before 40kHz - is this difference a non-issue? Thanks.
+1 naim amps are fantastic.Naim power amps are fantastic.
But really they are designed to work with Naim preamps, as their preamps do this job of limiting the bandwidth so that if does not cause problems for their power amps. I guess this is not required with Chord DAC, but their preamps also have time alignment circuits. So they are designed to work best together.
I use a Hugo into a Naim 282/200 and it sounds fantastic.
But then my Hugo sounds great anywhere I have tried it, in the car, with entry level headphones, into a Yamaha Home cinema amp, all the way to the top 500 series Naim amps, the Hugo just sounds amazing !
As someone who loves music, I consider myself very fortunate to have lived to see (hear) the Hugo come into existence and own one.
All thanks to Rob.
Does anyone have any experience of using their Hugo to feed the Gustard H10? I really enjoy the Hugo with my HE500's, but I feel they would be happier with a little more oomph! I could be kidding myself and welcome any constructive criticism.
