I ended up picking up a set of Hifiman HE-400i headphones, wow do they sound good on my UD-503.

Thanks Marvin42, I will look in to the AKG K701.

Just ditched my Chord Hugo (tired of replacing batteries) and got a UD-503, What headphones should I look at getting to go with it. I just have a set of Sennheiser momentums that I use for on the go, not bad but looking for better over ear options.

Thanks for the reply Kevin, for now I have been leaving it plugged in and on for most of the day. At night and when I wont be using it for long periods its off. Small world eh. An other Windsor boy and a Ham... to much! I'm not as active on air lately, but still work HF here and there.

I forgot to ask, are you using an Aries Mini through a Hugo. If so are you using the USB output in to the Hugo. I'm all ears on anything you can share about the mini. ( I see you have a Dave after I posted this) Do you use the Dave with the Mini, what output are you using.

I'm glad you brought this up, if it sounds really good with out the upgraded supply, I may just stick with the stock one. I will have to wait and see what happens. I'm definitely leaning towards adding a Mini. I'm happy with the laptops sound through the Hugo with Jriver. The main difference I'm...

If I do end up with one, I will start with out the upgraded supply just to see. Then add it later, both ways should be an upgrade from my laptop.

Next I'm thinking of getting an Auralic Aries mini to use with the Hugo, and taking my laptop out of the mix completely. Anyone use one?

Make sure in the Jriver settings your Mojo is set to the ASIO output, that makes sure it bypasses the rest of the un-needed audio path and go's right to the Mojo. If you can use the Jriver volume to change the level, then your not on the right setting. I used the Mojo with Jriver 10 and have...

I get that, but why buy an other cheep DAC and know you want the Hugo 2. Just hold on to the Mojo for now and get the 2. Do what you want its your money lol That's just me. I don't like taking one step forward and then two back lol. I think with your new speakers, amp and the Hugo 2 you will...

This is just me, I will spend more if it gets me the sound im after. I did the small step at a time thing before. You end up spending more money in the end when you constantly keep upgrading. I bit the bullet on my stuff and never looked back lol! If the Hugo 2 is what you want I say do it as...

As for the amp, I almost bought a Behringer A500 a ways back. There is a ton of good feed back on the a500. I was looking at the specs of the KM750, they look similar. I also see it says class AB, IMO that is a good choice over some of the Behringer digital stuff. I know that's funny because I...

From what I seen online they are a small set of floorstanders. Shouldn't be a problem in a smaller room.

Sounds like you picked yourself a good setup. Soundvisionreview.com likes them! You seemed to really like the 2qute you had, why not try that on the new setup?

Yes I was very unlucky but not anymore! Not one complaint.

Exactly.... I wish i could have tested an android, but after two weeks of trying to get one thst has OTG. I gave up lol PS I didn't say better... It worked first try lol so that's a win. Very easy to use. No extra software needed just plug in to the Ipad and any audio comes out of the Mojo.

I totally disagree with you. All apple devices have OTG. From what i found if you don't have the most expensive phone that Samsung makes it may.... or may not have OTG. I got this Ipad mini cheep on sale and not one issue. Not one lol

Sure theres issues with all devices. In my case after I got the Ipad, they are no longer there. I have been listening to radio paradise with there app on my Ipad mini 3 through the Mojo for over an hour tonight. No dropouts what so ever. Tidal and YouTube are fine too. So take that for what its...

So I should run off the battery once or twice a week to get a recharge going? or more times?

Yes that did help some. I still hope someone on here uses the Hugo at home plugged in and on all the time for some time and has had no issues. I have used the extender on both Hugos with no issue, I mostly use the USB but anytime I did use the coax input never any problems on my end.

I used that app, the problem was my android stuff didn't have OTG. Apple is far better for HD music IMO. Now I use Tidal and Onkyo hf player on the Ipad, it works great with no issues what so ever. YouTube also works through the Mojo with no issue.

Yes and no lol actually I had a Hugo for a short time about a year ago. It had a problem with the HD USB input and my dealer sent it back to Chord. He took forever to send it out, he gave me a Mojo to use in the mean time. I ended up just keeping the Mojo for OTG. After some time I missed the...

I had nothing but bad luck with Android and my Mojo. The Samsung phone I have (grand prime) does not have USB OTG. It was very hard to find online if it had OTG, the real test was when i pluged in the OTG Plug and then the Mojo with no sound. I also tested on a Samsung tablet, I can't remember...

Unfortunately I am aware of the decline in posts here. I have been reading on head-fi for some time and decided to participate. I thank you for your help. I am going to use the Hugo mostly at home as I have a Mojo for OTG.

Hello all, I'm wondering if its ok to leave the Hugo 1 on all the time or is it better to only have it on when using it. I know of many people who leave there gear on 24/7. I'm using the Hugo in my main system with the USB hooked up to my computer and the optical hooked up to a CD player. The...
