was travelling home earlier playing this absolute gem by the Neville Brothers from their 'live at Tipitina's' album on my Hugo/ZX1 combo ... the track is called 'Doo Wop Medley' featuring sublime singing by Aaron Neville and shows off his immense vocal range, highly recommended.... a Monday treat for y'all, enjoy...

[@]hykhleif[/@] understand your dilemma and I probably also won't want to sell them on the cheap if I were you. For your listed budget of $300, maybe another alternative is to get sth like an HD25 or T51p - closed back portable headphones with big bass and good transparency that pairs mighty well with Hugo. Keep the LCD2 if you can't find a good deal on the sale and I know from experience our taste/preference would change with time and experience and maybe soon you will rediscover it's merit. The HD25/T51P would still be useful for noisy situation or when you need portable cans.

the audeze sound is the best ever headphone especially the lcd 2 rev 2, but the hugo lacks in bass output to the audeze. 

I don't know which is your suorce, but when i use my Astell&Kern Ak100 by digital connection, i can modified the sound.

You guys must be patient, I still use the ipod nano for out doors. How do you guys operate a Hugo on the busy bus?

For me, I strap the FiiO X5 to the Hugo's back, and place in my jacket pocket, I can then access the player from the front, and the volume from the back - all a bit incognito, to stop those questioning glances that I'm pretty sure I'd get if I got it out whilst on the bus...

With the AK as transport I use their bluetooth remote control to change tracks to avoid having to take the stack out. I just wish iriver can develop a iOS/android app to allow remote control with our phones.

I use my iphone 5 with camera adaptor. The phone is transport and works fine. I just set volume and leave it.
The volume and eq even work with onkyo hf app. As long as it's pcm. Very happy with it .
The color lights are very useful once you know what they mean. Especially the color volume wheel. Also any cable I have tried works fine as well.

Ok guy. M8 is warm of neutral. Not the best for a DAC like Hugo. It will take some if the mojo away from the Hugo.

but do they work.... these photo's have been posted previously but no-one has had one to try out, have you any links to where you could buy one?

For those who commute with Hugo in a bag how do you stop the volume wheel turning up or down by mistake?

I use Cocoon grid-it to keep it from moving inside the bag...

Can you show us a picture of your setup? I'm thinking to get AK240 for my Hugo for on the go. 
How's this combination going for you?

it is rigid enough to not accidentally be moved in my experience.
