    Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    There ought to be a "Top Gear" for Hi-Fi. Maybe a niche waiting to be filled on YouTube. What would be the caravans of Hi-Fi? What's for you won't go past you.

    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    +1 I was thinking the same thing. What would be some examples of sources you could connect to the m-scaler that are guarenteed to be bit perfect? A full definitive list of all possible sources would be very useful for this thread.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I have to ask the simple question: is that really John Franks, CEO of Chord Electronics or someone posing as him? His English and punctuation are atrocious. Whatever the case, it actually sounds right. At the end of the day, there's no substitute for hearing the differences first hand and...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Not heard either of those. Been very happy with my P9's and Hugo.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I saw that video a few hours ago. Never seen the reviewer before. As soon as he mentioned prefering TT to Dave I thought there's something not right here and he lost credibility immediately. To make such a statement requires explanation/qualification and lots of it but he didn't offer any, just...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    My two cents: Don't rush into it. Wait until you can compare the two side by side. Don't rely on other's to make a decision only you can and should make. I'm sure there'll be more opportunities to buy second hand TT's. On the other hand, if you personally know the seller of the TT and buying...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Forgive my ignorance but single input balanced? Assumed it had to be at the bare minimum output from left and right to a single balanced plug. Do you think it would be possible to do that? Have you opened up the right cup at all?

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    As far as I am aware and last time I checked a couple of months ago, no and I doubt that will change any time soon. The only way it would is if the P9 sold in mega numbers. Then it might be worth while for the cable manufacturers to make them. The problem is the bespoke connection that's tucked...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    For me, I would have liked them to have been balanced with sockets that were easily accessible so that reference quality cables could be used with them. That's top. The only other thing is my dislike of the Apple centric mindedness by promising to offer a cable and dac whilst neglecting an...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I've had mine several months now. I don't find them uncomfortable and can wear them for hours at a time without problem and I've got a reasonably large head. Loving the sound too. But don't take mine or anyone else's word for it. Try for yourself.

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I don't think that would be a particularly easy thing to do much as I'd love to. It really really really annoys me that B&W deliberately (cause it was deliberate) chose to make it impossible for everyone but the Tony Stark genius' with home labs out there to make custom mods to their expensive...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Didn't realise the mic had to be on the earcups. I once had a pair of the Sennheiser noise cancelling hp 10 years ago. I just thought the mic was on the amp/battery pack. Maybe it was but then it was a decade ago (and I did have an iPod Nano!). To do it properly, I suspect the best method is, as...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    I'm not an iPhone user. Never have been, probably never will be. It seems a shame to me that B&W aren't doing the option of a USB micro C cable as well as lightning. Noise cancellation would be great too, if not on the free lightning with dac and amp, then as an option. Is it likely that the...

    Need Recommendation for DAP with Optical Out

    I'm also looking into this. I have a Hugo as well. Joined the forum last week. Did you get an answer or find a solution. I would add that I'm looking for Tidal support with offline capability too.

    Chord Hugo - The PORTABLE discussion thread

    Hi, I'm a newbie to this forum. I've had my Hugo for nearly a week and am loving it so far. Had it connected to my laptop and to my LG G5 (only by bluetooth but still surprisingly good), using Tidal and feeding B&W P9's. I've currently not got a dedicated DAP. Very happy with the laptop set up...

    Who's the artist? What are you using with the mojo (source and music source)?

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    First impressions are very good. Initially, I listened to the P9's through my LG G5 with the Hi-Fi Plus module attached. I'm amazed how well the phone can drive them. They can go as loud as needed, louder even. The clarity was better. Yes, the bass is striking but not overwhelming but then I'm...

    Bowers&Wilkins new flagship the P9!

    Having spent much of this morning enjoying reading many pages in this thread, I decided to join the forum and this in my first post! :wave: My P9's and Chord Hugo's arrival is imminent. I will soon be sharing my thoughts. I will be comparing with my LG G5 with and without the B&O Hi-Fi Plus...
