@UELong, these are clip on ferrite cores in plastic shell. you can order online as per the cable dis.

What I mean is, where on the cable would they be most effective?
I understand and already have some. I'd just like to know the best way to use them and how many and on which end to use them, or does it matter. I put one on the end at the DAC. Should I put one on the computer end, or am I making too big a deal over it?
Thanks guys.

@UELong, you can try one at each end. then try adding one more closer to dac end. I have used 3 small ferrite on small cable between fiio x3 and mojo . it did wonders.

Officially joined the club yesterday! I'm really happy with the small exception of the noisy Bluetooth connection (I use iPhone). The sound is top notch and reminds me a lot of my beloved m9xx, though much cleaner and (a little bit) bigger soundstage and much more accurate imaging.

Unfortunately, iDevices are poor sources with the Hugo. You only get SBC BT from them. I would strongly suggest/recommend an Apt-X source. Then you'll hear what the Hugo can do

+1. A17 with HUGO via Apt-X was as good as SD-USB. Only catch is to have the A17 very close to HUGO. Not a big deal, for the times you forgot to pack digital cables/adapters.

Mine just got back from Chord's authorized service center after battery replacement. They charged me INR 2200 (approx $34) for battery + service.
Mine is around 2 years old, bought it used from classified here. Two others had reported the same symptoms in this thread, warranting battery replacement.
It was a great service from Chord's dealer, here in Bangalore. Happy as a clam, now that HUGO is back in action.
Hope we don't run out of spares from CHORD, as HUGO ages.

same batteries are available from other manufacturers also. these batteries come with and without protection circuitry. in future if the original battery not available, batteries form other manufacturers can also be used imho. these batteries I think are affected by prolonged heat . so switching off the hugo after use is not a bad idea specially in countries like India where temperatures can rise to high levels.

Does this rule apply for the 2qute as well? For some reason I find that SACD rip DSD files sent via DoP to 2qute sound great. 24/88 flac rip of the same file sounds decent but not as good as the DSD DoP. However what I don't understand is that if I play any redbook 16/44 flac cd rips, they sound 'better' to my ears if I use the JRiver on the fly DSD128 conversion, then DoP to 2qute. I'd like to try to understand why this is...?

hugo has much more processing power than any other playing software that's why dsd or pcm direct to hugo sounds better.
