There is more info on AK240 thread. The shape are really odd.
I feel you. But judging the size (as seen from the picture), I have reservation whether HUGO is actually suitable for portable use. you know, I really just cannot see myself carrying a TU-05 while walking.
I am not that fussy about looks, my main concern is just sound. I just hope the saving is worth it. My mind is set for HUGO and I hope that with camera kit I can pair it with the idevices. With thanks to onkyo and its DoP I think HUGO seems to a better option.
I just cannot believe that chord will make a DAP that is reference level even compared to their current DAC which cost 18000 USD.
For me whether it is Ak240 or HUGO it will be the last source purchase. If non of them pay off I think I am done with the search of finding a portable rig that can be used with all of my gears. At the end of this year I will be selling them all and will be keeping one source, one amp and one IEM.
Newbi if this Chord is anything like the quality of their home system gear it will stomp any of the current DAPs including AK240 and Sony and HiFiman 901 into complete oblivion...This company makes incredible gear
That's a very big if though, they can't just squeeze it into a small box and stick a battery on it...
What's the storage medium/capacity?
Battery life?
Interface?
Inputs and outputs?
plenty of room for slips...

This is based on opinion only since whilst i have owned Chord Gear i don't own any of the previously mentioned DAPs...

sorry I misunderstood, I thought it was a stand alone DAP based on the DAC/AMP, my mistake
not sure how it's a competitor for the AK240 if you need a player..
