    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    It does appear that there is at least one Rob Watts item that is in production. Just no telling what, but my guess is an updated Mojo or a device that sits between the old Mojo and the Hugo2... Hopefully we will know soon.

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Thanks, that is exactly what I was thinking. I just sold my Poly as it was not really working for me, and I returned an AK SR25 which I found incredibly frustrating. I would prefer a serrate device from my phone, and think this would just be perfect and a price that does not break the bank...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    I am considering going down the path with the purchase of an iPod Touch to work with my Mojo, and my soon to arrive Hugo 2. Are you still happy with the Touch? It is interesting that not many people talk about it as a DAP, but it seems to me, from a streaming services standpoint, it is a great...

    Campfire Audio Solaris 2020 - First Impressions

    I just received my first pair of Campfire Audio IEMs, the Solaris 2020. Pairing with my Mojo I am just blown away by the sound quality and presence. Granted, I have only listened to them for a few hours, but as my first high end set of IEMs, I am amazed. I need to spend some time with finding...

    Watts Up...?

    Well that is certainly good news. Just one more thing to save for in 2021....

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    How is the Alpha working as a source? I have Hugo 2 coming to compliment my Mojo/Poly. One of the reasons I wanted a DAP was to take my phone out of the equation. Since I am sending the SR25 back, I will continue to use my iPhone and the Poly as my source until I figure things out.

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    I just submitted my return to Crutchfield... Honestly, after reading this thread I am on the fence.... I really would like to try the Alpha and see if it does not provide me with a better experience. Do you find the display any more readable? This was honestly one of my big issues. The small...

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    Thanks for this post. As someone new to A&K players, with the SR25, I am looking at returning my SR25 for the Alpha. I too have read this entire 80+ page thread, and like you, don’t intend to use the A&K Connect software as it is not part of my use case. It does appear to me, after spending...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I went with the Dignis case, bought from Moon. Very nice case, but it sounds, like you, I hate covering up the industrial design of the unit. If I am being honest, it is that design which pushed me over the edge to A&K. However, it does look like it is easily scratched, so I succumbed to both...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I think the one thing i have learned about the hifi world is how differently everyone hears things, so i completely respect your view. For me, I just prefer the sound from the Mojo over the AK. However, I completely concur that using the Mojo is just a PITA. Hoping that they come out with...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    No disrespect taken. I think it is just a personal thing for me as I don’t like to use my phone that way... I know it is crazy, makes no sense, but I do like the idea/concept of a completely dedicated unit, which is why I got the SR25... I realize completely these are really stupid first world...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I have had the Poly for two years and it does nothing but frustrate me. Honestly, I have just given up and relegated an old iPhone as a cable source. However, I would pay good money for an all inclusive solution from Chord. The use of an iPhone, while it works, is just unwieldy, not to mention...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I agree, I just did not know that at the time. I did a ton of research, but as with so much of this, you really can’t figure it out until you get a chance to experience things. I will most likely hold on to the SR25 as a DAP, but used with my Mojo or even a Hugo2, which I am dying to try out...

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    So after a couple of days with my SR25 i have to say I am a bit underwhelmed. I think my expectations were just too high, especially compared to what I am used to with my Chord Mojo. The little Mojo just does a great job, but having to pair it with a phone was just too unwieldy for me, which is...

    thanks for that information. That is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers.

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I just got my SR25 today. Sideloaded the Tidal app and got everything working. However, I am a bit frustrated by the UI, including the AK icon that sits on the lower right corner right on top of the Tidal Pause button. I keep hitting the wrong thing. Not sure if there is a way to disable...
