    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Can someone give tips for what type of LSP to buy or powerbank? What battery should the powerbank have? I know the Hugo 2 is relative new, so maybe its early for many to think of power uppgrades.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    So after being a little dissapointed with Hugo 2 compered with the 2qute I must say that this has changed and I must say that Hugo 2 is a little better in a every aspect. And it actually outclasses the 2qute in terms of soundstage depth. All of this cant be brain burn-in, this type of bass was...

    Im using a denon pma2500NE with Dali Epicon 2. I used the 2qute with the line level CD and I now use the Hugo 2 with the extra pre out on the denon. My preffered headphones is the nighthawks, but I have not tried them with the hg2 yet.

    2qute to Hugo 2 uppgrader reporting in. I have had the Hugo 2 for a day now and just going to do a quick comparison between the two. I feel like the Hugo 2 is a little better in a few departments. It has a more holographic sound and is a tad bit smoother. On the negative side I feel like the bas...

    Good for you! So now atleast 6 people have the sbooster for the 2qute, ALL have had positive resultat. Maybe the doubters needs more proof, maybe God coming down and from high above and slapping them over the head, saying -Buy it you idiot!!

    Yes of course the music jumps out at you more, a blacker background and a little clearer. But the most significient difference was the smoothness.

    I have the nrg 10 for my stereo amp. The sound gets smoother and more lively. Its thick and a hassle to bend, but still a good piece of cable.

    AudioQuest NightHawk Impressions and Discussion Thread

    While I love these headphones for music, the biggest revelation came when I started to use them for gaming. They make games like The last of us and Alien isolation so immersive because they present everything so well fleshed out and realistic. My beyerdynamics T1, even though they have a larger...

    I have never heard Linn speakers but I use the 2qute with a rega elex-r and Dali speakers and its heaven. So musical that its impossible to do anythin g else than listen while being in the same room. The elex-r is probably my best value buy ever.

    No I have not, I think it's better to wait for the burn in to be done. I promise I will try it if you want to, butt atleast for now the negative effects you heard of is not there for me.

    With the ultra. I have no sensation of the sound being more distant as of now. How much better did it get for you after the recommended burn in of 100 hours? I really want stress this to everyone reading, this thing is AMAZING. This is not an insubstantial nerdy tweak.

    Ok discussion over, the sbooster even without any burn in makes a huge difference. I put on mad max: fury road, a movie I have seen many times on blue ray and also watch scenes from when I tweak and buy new products. The sbooster puts the movie in hyper-realism mode. Everything is super clear...

    So andromeda guess what, I have in my possession an sbooster and an sbooster ultra. Will try it out later this afternoon. Do you use it with the stock power cable, I have an spare isotek premier I could use. Maybe that's overkill and makes no sense.
