Extraordinary, almost electrostatic sounding, very extended, but with very DEEP and tight bass that ESL's usually lack. Natural, uncolored, dynamic, nuanced and very detailed, Anyone who has not heard these - and compared them with anything out there YES, THAT IS A CHALLENGE - is doing a...

RE LG5 and DAC module: Not available to the best of my knowledge and the one in the V10 is excellent...with the right headphones. I WAAAY prefer the V10 to the LG5 and just purchased a second in my family.

There's no problem using the LG V10 with Mojo. The V10, btw, has the best mobile DAC I've heard, and obviously it is very convenient to use on the road with my Audeze LCD-X. The Mojo is better of course with the V10, but you need a good cable and connection to make it work the best. I have no...

The reviewer states: "I don’t expect everybody to hear the same results using this little device, but the difference will be more apparent using higher end audio equipment (quality usb DAC or standalone DAC and less colored high res headphones) playing higher resolution lossless audio." The...

Just a heads up guys. I'll be off these posts for a long time starting in a couple of days, so don't look for me. Thanks. I may post a few more, but that'll be it for a while.   Great talking to you all, enjoy wherever You Go.

Al, in the private you may have misunderstood me. I heard the music on MP3 file from Amazon over the internet. I bought the CD you recommended and am awaiting its delivery, but won't hear it for a while with the Hugo.

Bulls Eye!

Owl dude is correct. There's a lot of myth passing off as fact. The DaVinci is a great DAC, but it is arguable whether or not a discrete ladder dac (as opposed to a chip) has any concrete advantages other than the control of precision resistors - which, btw, can be had with common chips. In all...

Thanks ALRAINBOW, I bought the CD. Good music there, we'll see about the sound.

Someone else is making electronics? Who?   Seriously, I love the hobby, and as a pro I take great pains to remain objective in the general sense. As I said, most electronics start our as a black box, breadboarded circuits, computer modeling and a scientific calculator providing answers to...

  The details are there with the best IEMs, however they are not there in the correct proportion spatially, dimensionally, texturally and tonally. The details are also "in your face," a phenomenon the best headphones avoid entirely. That is the reason recording engineers and post production...

Glad I have one friend. No one else likes me.

I'm a little concerned with a preference for IEMs on many threads. The fact is, no IEM in my experience comes close to the best orthodynamic headphones available. OK, for road-only use the IEMs may be a better choice. For home, desktop, not close. The best headphones are significantly more...

I think we're missing the big picture.   A DAC is a computer. So is an iPhone. So was the Motorola flip phone. Can we say the iPhone is several orders of magnitudes superior to a 15 year old Motorola RAZOR?   We can. In a similar fashion as a computer, the Hugo is far more sophisticated and...

"Doesn't anyone think it would be unreasonable to expect an amp this small to be a breakthrough and one of the best amps available?"   Well, you might think it's unreasonable, and we're happy you speak for all the others whom are not here to agree with you.   "I'm just happy that the dac...

In perfectionist audio the point is perfection. Nothing is perfect. We are aiming to make things perfectible. For the best sonic potential it is paramount that we adhere to make every component in the chain transparent. In a series of window panes, one in front of the others, only one has to be...

I'm not sure you're willing to try an equalizer? Experimenting with EQ might be rewarding. I am speaking only of software EQ properly implemented. Otherwise, one can argue that certain amps and certain wires are ... equalizers. The difference between software-based EQs and hardware based...

No, it's not about synergy. A myth repeated ten thousand times remains a myth. Adding anything in series creates a series of errors affecting the signal. There is no way around it unless you have the means to reverse the laws governing FFT. The distortions of any amplifier include harmonic...

Sorry to disagree. All an external amp will do is to mask the sins of the others.

So does Cardas.' Excellent, smooth, natural.

OK, I hear you NZ, but then take a look at the consensus about neutrality. The HUGO appears to work very well with a large selection of top head gear. That means it is neutral (more or less) and requires no matching, one to the other. If you take a rather hotter-sounding headphone and a softer...

...CD rez, and I am barely touching half of capacity.   Other advantages to this mobile phone, one has a smart phone hanging out with a DAP - Dumb A**ed Player.   It's slim, beautiful, very well made with the latest chips, but unfortunately it doesn't dispense cappuccino or pick up girls...

First and foremost I want to thank all of you who replied to my inquiry, Crashem and others, for the solutions for running an Android into the Hugo. Finally I wound up using a tip from 7ryder, however with a twist.   I purchased USB Audio Player PRO from apparently the same software designer...

Posted to those who have an HTC1-M8. I've connected the iPhone to the Hugo, very inelegant with the dongles sticking out.   With the camera adapter the Hugo recognizes the iPhone.   The Hugo does not recognize the HTC1-M8 - the music comes out of the HTC's speakers only.   The two are...
