PWaudio 1960s 4.4mm Hugo 2 adapter

There is no any problem in USB itself. It only depends on quality of your source device. Any DDC will improve sound over the regular PC USB output — this is an axiom. But USB is not a PC only. There are lots of purified USB sources. Say for example extremely "cheap" Antipodes OLADRA to...

Basicaly you're right, but never say never. 1. I have crazy good implementation of HQPlayer and it definitely plays better than M-Scaler. 2. And I have good regenerative power plant and AC-cables fo kilo$s and great LPSs that plays better than any batteries I was able to test But in some...

Hugo 2 can not be "just dac" It is a dacamp capable to headphones of any level — anyhigh and anytop So you're not limited to any suggestions of middle level headphones. Just take a look into all the models in your budget

It should be mentioned M-Scaler is not only an upscaling tool (HQPlayer is way better, but much harder to implement it efficiently) but a DDC also.. Any none-trash DDC will improve sound, like some ordinary Denafrips GAIA do with any DAC, and Hugo 2 no exception here.. M-Scaler combines DDC and...

I do not think those who asking here for Hugo 3 are about "rich guys" philosophy.. I suppose it comes from fever for the sound in conjunction with missunderstanding of real potential of Hugo 2 already in their hands.. I mean most of them do not understand — any Hugo 3 in ordinary way will play...

There is no existance of such lift in the nature of things. Hugo 2 can play nothing by itself. It's just a DAC, so it strongly depends on a digital transport. So if you trying to campare one audio system of Blu MK2 + Hugo 2 with another second audio system with Hugo 2, so you should point out a...

Good DAC, I was using it for some time with CFA-3 Upgraded it to Aqua Formula xHD rev.2 Still good memories about Hibiki SDS

The most powerful way to make Hugo 2 sound worst )

Completely agree, I've heard both of them and feel absolutely the same

No, this is just a dual mono adapter, not balanced signal

We didn't heard each other.. I meant SP2000 is the best portable transport I know to feed the Hugo 2 via USB or Toslink.. Here is the picture attached of how it looks like, and the sound is close to a normal (not portable) setup Here is: Astell&Kern SP2000 >> UAPP >> Synergistic Research...

Yes, and the difference is clearly heard a lot. Just using Hiby RS6 vs SP2000 as a transport to Hugo 2 brings clearly different sound. And the cables are make sence too

Wow!!! I wondering you'are not trying RS8 >> Hugo 2 >> Tsuranagi... I suppose this whould be way beter setup than RS8 >> Tsuranagi I used to use RS8 with Hugo 2, but have switched to SP2000 with Hugo 2 as SP2000 as a transport plays better than RS8 Now I'm thinking to add Tsuranagi over the...

Between what devices? Between PC and good DDC? What DDC you use in this test?
