Excellent! The wait is almost over. Curious, did you replace your TT with the HoloAudio?

A couple of options...the Benchmark DAC3 HGC and Kitsune L3 Holo Spring DAC. Great for some options here at home and work.

Just sold my Mojo

The Hugo2 is a definitely a step up from the Mojo (IMO), you should be happy with it for your portable needs (again IMO).

Really looking forward to it!

I'm looking for a good interconect cable to use between my hugo 2 and my violectric 281. Only xlr cables in the house until now
I'm still waiting my pre order, but want to order the cables now.
Those friends that had listen to hugo, have any recommendation? Silver, copper? Cheers

I am using anticables 5.2 to connect 2Qute to Liquid carbon. Noticeable upgrade above my previous 88pct silver cables I was using in terms of clarity and enjoyment. Recommended!

Nordost is a safe bet.

Nordost is a safe bet.

Also, anticables are proportionate to the price of Hugo, meaning the cables cost fraction of the price of the dac, not the other way around

Cambridge Audio (AUD500 TWIN PHONO TO TWIN PHONO). excellent build quality and sound £30

I would at least go for something high quality silver plated. It is well worth it with a component of the quality of Hugo2. You don't want to scrimp on peripherals and throw the gains away.

Pretty much everything has gold plated plugs and some would say that too many strands spoil the brew. At the end of the day it is that sound that counts.

Epic Analogue cable from the Chord cable company looks like a good match for Hugo2. Don't short change yourself by using an inferior cable. 360 pounds seems like a sensible spend for the Hugo2.

I still think that the Hugo TT sound´s better than Hugo 2. Maybe not in all aspects. I think that what Rob has done to the feeling of naturalness or musicality of the music with this advanced filtering technique will get better with each and every "tap".
But I don´t think that this is everything what makes music believable. I don´t own the TT but I added super capacitors to the Hugo1 my self and it makes a huge difference to my ears. The dynamics became much more precise and the overall sound was much more like live music because of this added authority. I listend to the Hugo 2 and it did not have the attack and authority to my ears as my Hugo with added super capacitors. I did not have much time to listen for long time but my first impression was that it has again this mushy feeling like my Hugo had in the beginning (without the capacitors). So I still think that if you have the TT you don´t sell it for Hugo 2. But also I think it depends on what headphones you use. If don´t need that force and attack to your music, maybe the Hugo 2 will be better for you because of the better "musicality".

Hmm, that's an interesting take on things.
But why do you mention TT when you are actually talking about having added supercapacitors to your HUGO 1?
Did you put the "same" super capacitors that are in TT or others?
Applying some logic here again would indicate that doing the same,ie adding super capacitors to HUGO 2 would reap both the benefits of more taps and improved filters and better capacitors provided HUGO 2 does not already have super capacitors fitted of course.
What if maybe Chord is saving those super capacitors for TT 2 instead of adding them to HUGO 2 which they most probably could easily have done just as easily as adding proper galvanic isolation and full size usb connectors and rca ports had they so desired.
I still remember that one of the things both Rob and John mentioned when I asked them in which respects the Hugo TT John was holding,was better than HUGO,was "better capacitors" than HUGO.
It would be interesting to hear what type of capacitors they put in HUGO 2. Are they super capacitors or not?
And if not ? Why not?
How much did you pay for your supercapacitors?
And what brand are they?
Where they difficult to fit yourself?
Any such change of internal parts would of course void your guarantee.
Vielen Dank. "I wart auf Antwort."

My dealer said he hopes to receive shipment around 4th of July or so and ship out thereafter. This would mean delivery mid July. The price dropped $100 US once he got word from the distributor.

the magic word is "hope".
