Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Thanks Rob, for taking the time to reply. Really appreciate it! I was at my normal listening level with the Rogers LS3/5a's directly connected to the 2Qute at 30% attenuation (70% volume level); so I expect the Hugo TT 2 to be more than able to achieve all desired volume levels. Moreover, I...- jvs

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Hi Rob, And a big thank you for designing such amazing stuff! As a music lover and scientist I really like your approach. I have been using the 2Qute for almost three years now and I am still amazed about the details it is able to retrieve. I use the 2Qute with an old Cyrus Two amplifier...- jvs

chaintech a-710 w/optical
There are several ways to achieve bit-perfect digital output with the Chaintech (flashing, Kernel Streaming, ASIO4ALL). Flashing works with any player software, ASIO4ALL and Kernel Streaming just with Foobar and Winamp. Search the forum, all information on this subject is there!- jvs

Best Format?
wav! Every player supports it. Why go through the trouble of using anything else for just 40% less storing space. Only real problem is that the wav files themselves cannot contain tags. But your player's library can!- jvs

Which would you buy?
I use the ESI/Audiotrak drivers for my Chaintech AV-710 and like them. If you want to use coaxial digital out and no breakout cable you may also consider the ESI Maya 44. Analog out of the Maya may be of lesser quality than the Juli@ but using digital out it will undoubtedly be just as good as...- jvs

Realtek AC97 S/PDIF Out
You know the digital out of the AC'97 onboard sound will be resampled to 48kHz and will therefore not be bit-perfect? It will work quite well but not be optimal. To get bit-perfect digital output you will need to use a soundcard in this case.- jvs
