Review by 'xeroian' on item 'Chord Electronics Hugo 2'
Introduction These are my gathered thoughts on Hugo2 while listening to Serial Number D00026 for 10 days as part of the UK Hugo Tour organised by Highfell and facilitated by Chord Electronics. Listening has been exclusively via headphones; mostly sharing my time between Audeze LCD-XC and...- xeroian

Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
I know that 48/96 music stored on my iPhone / iPad reaches Hugo/Mojo/Hugo2 at 48/96 because the marbles or LEDs show the correct colour. However I don’t know whether it is sent “bit perfect”. Who knows what Tidal or iTunes or other apps actually do between input and output. I have used my...- xeroian

Official Chord Hugo 2 UK Tour Thread
It is now a week since I last heard Hugo2 and I am still missing him. Neither Hugo1 nor Mojo sound so good anymore. I'm inclined to jump in and buy one but worried it might not perform as well as I remember. After all, absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder. Ian- xeroian

Official Chord Hugo 2 UK Tour Thread
My ten days are up and Hugo2 has been posted on to Deftone. I have half a review typed up on my PC which I can post later but here are some of my findings: The Remote works well and is not as tacky as I had heard. Once the batteries are inserted it feels pretty solid and has all the necessary...- xeroian

Official Chord Hugo 2 UK Tour Thread
Well Hugo2 has arrived and has been so well packaged by Chord that I thought someone had sent me a new football to celebrate the restart of the EFL. Upon unpacking I see that no one has yet ventured to try the Remote. It and its batteries are still sealed. I probably won't use it either (or the...- xeroian

Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
I ran the first iOS 11 public beta on an iPad pro 10.5 for 2 weeks without a single dropout. Used USB 3 CCK, TIDAL, MUSIC app and a Hugo 1. Similarly I tested the first development beta on an iPhone 7 for several days without dropouts. My daily device is an iPhone 6s+ and that is currently...- xeroian

I ran all six 10.3.3 betas on my iPhone 6s+ without a single drop out but am now reluctant to install 10.3.3 final. Can anyone here confirm that 10.3.3 has solved their CCK dropouts and which iDevice and CCK they are using. Thanks- xeroian

[For iOS users] How to fix the USB Audio dropout issue from 10.3.2
iOS 10.3.3 betas 3, 4 and now 5 don't seem to have this problem anymore. I have not experienced it since beta 2. Can't second guess Apple but the final could be any day now.- xeroian

Yes it still works but: 1. It is no longer available for purchase through the App Store. 2. It does not run on iOS 11 beta 1 since 32 bit apps are not supported. All very sad.- xeroian

A while back I gave Apple a lengthy & detailed description of the problem and their recent response was more promising: "Engineering has requested the following information in order to further investigate this issue: Please collect a sysdiagnose log and attach it to your bug report. Also, if...- xeroian

Problem is still there with 10.3.3 beta 1. I managed 45 minutes before my sound muted. As usual my iPhone 6s+ still things it is playing.- xeroian
