I bet they know it but they don't care at all. I have the wyrd too. It's a nice device and I like it a look. It made a substantial difference in my system. Another product for cleaning usb is the Uptone Audio Regen. From what I've read in other forums is that it seems to be more complex than...- flaco

The Hugo TT has galvanic isolation up to 384khz... So there is actually. It think it is because they don't use off the shelf dac ships.. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/chord/1.html- flaco

I read a post about it in this thread and ordered soon afterwards. Bigger soundstage, smoother treble and more controlled bass with Audirvana+ in integer mode.- flaco

More than enough power for the HD800. Sound is fantastic, period. I've never tried the Hugo TT but I wish I could. I can image that the Hugo TT sounds in some aspects better than the Hugo. The thing is, they share the same DNA - which is basically the reason for most of the people cherishing the...- flaco
