    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Just reporting that I’ve been using the H2 in my car (iPhone>CCK>USB>H2>Aux) and it’s big step above the builtin CD player or CarPlay SQ. Makes my longer drives quite enjoyable.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Has anyone tried any vibration dampening/control widgets with the Hugo 2? Classic Stillpoints made a small difference but H2 seems to be pretty indifferent to these things.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Been playing between USB and Audiophilleo 2. The direct SPDIF connection sounds better than USB. Also compared the Allo Digione which sounded same as USB. AP gives a bit more clarity and much better bass.

    HifiMAN HE-6 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    SF Bay Area Meet on Sunday February 17, 2013 (the one which is really going to happen)

    Count me in!   I can bring in gear if there's space (Ayre QB9, Violectric V200, HE500). I also have an Anedio D1 and Neko D100, if someone's interested I can bring those as well.
