Hi all! Long time no seen.    I am having an issue with white noise (or pink or whatever) when playing Netflix or other movie streaming services on my iPad Mini Retina running the latest iOS and the latest Netflix app (latest of everything). Anyone experienced the same?   It works like it...

Nice impressions. I am curious about how it will work with a source like an iPad Mini or other iDevices.. do you have any at hand? 

I've never tested it, but I heard that the Mini Cooper is pretty fun to drive, and if it is super charged I guess that I would have loved it. Had a Golf GTI once and were driving like crasy.. drifting through turns way too fast.. was awsome.. but those days are gone.. I've grown up and am...

I actually don't disagree with you. My point is that in my opinion when you reach a certain level of enjoyment it actually doesn't matter that much that you can find anything better.   In an example.. I you have a sports car that can do 300 km/h and has an awesome acceleration.. it is not that...

If it you would consider it better and you could afford it you would buy it.. am I right?    If you add in convenience with portability it would be not that easy with math alone.. but it sure adds to the value of something like Hugo.

I have also heard that the stress with electrical units is less while always on. Electrical units in general seems to break down while pressing the on button. I leave mine on and connected most of the time when I'm at home or at work. When out and about and not playing I turn it off. It may...

I'm not sure if you are reffering to someone like me? ;) I couldn't agree more with your last statement.. and I earlier you had to pay a lot more to get there, and I never got there with any portable units / stacks. And therefore I consider the Hugo to be a giant killer. So in my opinion the...

Very nice pics! :)

It would definetly be harder to pull the trigger and do a leap of faith if the Hugo should cost as much as $5000. But I find value to be hard to compare.. if you got a $8000 setup that is a few % better, and you could listen to it once a week and just a couple of hours, while with the Hugo you...

It's getting late for me.. need a shut eye..

I guess that i am the hole here, the a** kind of hole.. but no pun intended. I would think that the AK240 would manage better with harder to drive headphones, and make easier to drive headphones scale better.. better soundstage, control, dynamics etc. but I guess the sound signature would be...

They're both round? ;)

This one I couldn't follow.. but I guess you'r still the same old Al. :)

:D

As I understand Al he says that it is ground breaking in the portable arena as well as in the desktop arena, as he doesn't know of any better portable DAC/AMP at any price point, and that nothing beats the Hugo at it's price point even on the desktop arena, and that it is amongst ( or better)...
