Chord Hugo - The PORTABLE discussion thread
did you buy this used from some place/ one, or did you buy this brand new? they did upgrade the usb connection shortly after upgrading the case to accommodate larger analog/ and coax cables while also making the usb connection stronger.- papa kief

The Chord Hugo TT is announced.
i love my Hugo. Use it in my home setup 99% of the time. Was really excited about the TT but if John says that "he feels there is only a 10%" increase in sound quality, I have a very very hard time justifying a new TT for a 200% price increase. Guess I will simply make due with my existing setup...- papa kief

The Chord Hugo TT is announced.
I totally agree. many folks have been raving about the sound quality of the Hugo ($2500) versus the Auralic Vega ($3500). Enter the Hugo TT at $5000, i think Chord may struggle to compete with the Vega being $1500 more. If they were to price the Hugo TT at $3500 (equal to the Vega) Chord should...- papa kief

Chord Hugo
I forgot to mention, one of the other bennefits of the iUSBportHD besides its large capacity is the fact that it is rechargable/ battery powered (8 hrs). A few other notes, besides MQS streaming, it also works with hundreds of apps that support HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, DLNA, uPnP. It supports 2 way...- papa kief

Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
+1 for Audiophilleo. i am using a MBP (with jriver) feeding an Audiophilleo AP2 SE (Special Edition) thru an upgraded, custom power supply and then feeding the 24bit 384k/ DSD128 source into my Chord Hugo via coax from the ap2. This connection versus a simple high quality silver usb cable...- papa kief
