Does i need to set Hugo2 to the line level mode in order to connect it to Amp because I thought it doesn't need that as it has RCA output connection which differ than what Mojo have.

If you connect directly to a speaker amp you should not use Hugo 2 in "line level" preset volume mode. It will be far too loud. You might even kill your speakers if you are unlucky.

The RCA outputs have the same level as the HP outs. They're not line-level. Therefore, you should set line level when feeding into an amp. And make sure you turn H2 back down before or in case you plug headphones directly into H2. HTH

Oh oh... I hope the KLE Absolute Harmony will fit, wanted to use those for my DIY cable and I fear the dimensions are similar.
Did anyone try those?

All I can say is that the Bullet plugs don't fit, not even close. Too bad, because I love these interconnects.

Just for fun, are you ever not playing something?

Ah since the KLE look very similar and are also Bullet plugs I guess I need to try them in store... and most likely settle for something different.

Maybe this RCA cable might work for your purpose.

could someone give me an exact description of what tidal exclusive mode is actually doing. i.e.not just that "tidal has exclusive use of the audio device".

tidal replied to me by saying;

"Exclusive mode allows your external device to control all audio aspects of the stream. The TIDAL app will not process the stream.
if you have any further questions concerning this, please let me know."

i.e how do the two comments above tie together? and what does force volume do in conjunction with exclusive mode both enabled?

i know a lot of you use tidal with hugo2 so i feel this is relevant and important.


thanks to all MK.

I have AQ Forest and Cinnamon RCA and both of those fit extremely well and sound great.

audio46 got back to me, they are going to replace it, letting me hold on to this unit in the meantime.

Gave it a charge, listening now on pair of MrSpeakers ÆON and also for a few mins with my Ety ER4SR. First listening impression with ÆON...feels like my ears are being penetrated by a unicorn horn. Seriously, my ear canals are tingling...quite literally. Sound is not marginally better than the Mojo (which I have been listening to all day)...but by a huge margin better. Will report back after I compare to my 2Qute later tonight.

I can't imagine finding a better pairing than with the ÆON simply stunning. Sounds like they were made for each other.

How do you like the Etymotic with the Hugo 2 as thought getting one (and possibly the aeon as well). Thank you.
Paul

When I'm listening to music, it's at my desk where my computer is and that's the only computer I use to post to this forum. So there's usually music playing It's also for games, films, YouTube etc.

Using the H2 for some days, I have tried to compare it to both AK 240 and H1, with my Campfire Vega.
I thoght that in constrast to LCD 2, there would be no big difference between the two since AK's would be compensated by the higher sensitivity of CA. Big error. I lazily started listening AK --> CA and you suddendly realise that is sounds duller, less energetic and less sparkling. I hence tried AK -> H2->CA and quality increased considerably, in terms
- power in the bass,
- precision and space in the middle, in particular with respect to singing, and
- the sparkling in the highs is now back.

To be honest, I bought H2 because I was unhappy carrying the 12V poweradaptor. in retrospect, H2 is really (much) better, and vertainly worth its money (at least when comparing with AK)

I have my LCD 4 at home (Switzerland) working in London and would be interested in views of people using it with H2. Audeze recommends H TT, from a power perspective this is ex aequo with H2. any views?

Ps: listening to Tamerlano from Haendel

Compatible DAPs for Hugo 2:

Hugo 2 is a Digital to Analogue Converter equipment. It takes in a digital signal, converts it into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal via the Headphone Out. The DAP being paired with the Hugo 2 as a transport/source, must be capable of feeding a digital signal into the Hugo 2. Some DAPs do NOT have the capability to send/output a Digital Signal. Below is a list of popular DAPs on Head-Fi. I have broken down into which DAPs can and cannot be used for Hugo 2.

DAPs that CANNOT be used the with the Hugo 2:
- Acoustic Research AR-M2, AR-M20, AR-M200
- Apple iPod Nano, Classic
- Astell & Kern AK Jr
- Cowon Plenue D
- Fiio M3, X1, X1ii
- Hifiman Megamini, Supermini, HM650, HM802, HM802S, HM901, HM901S
- Lotoo PAW Gold
- Luxury & Precision L5
- Sandisk Sansa Players
- Sony Walkman WM1A, WM1Z, E Series Players

Thank you, EagleWings, for the comprehensive list, which is really useful.
I found one error on the list. Sony Walkman WM1A DOES WORK with Hugo 2. Actually I'm now listening my favorite Jazz album "Inside the Moment" by Camille Thurman (192/24) with the following setup:
Sony Walkman WM1A -> Sony Walkman Cradle BCR-NWH10 -> AudioQuest Cinnamon USB cable -> Hugo 2 -> Hifiman HE1000 V2

The cradle was originally designed for ZX2, but it works nicely with WM1A/Z even with the official leather cover. If you don't have the cradle but have a WM-port / USB adaptor cable, you should be able to connect a WM1A/Z to Hugo 2.
When it's connected, you can see "USB AUDIO" mark on the upper left corner of the walkman screen.
