For sure but i think Rudi might get his HUGO back before I get the wagnus shipped to me.

honestly i haven't used HUGO for a week, it sounds great but i am more on "so it should as its 2.4 K".

i still feel some stack setup out there can produce a respectable sound at much cheaper price.

 
I'd be more than happy to buy the HUGO off of you :)

I don't like selling things, i tend to buy the things i sale as i miss their sound eventually.

HUGO would be best for those who are new and don't want to ever spend in future. It really does provide a great all in one solution.

who knows maybe its analog out is as good as wagnus if we remove personal bias. Evolutionx has the HUGO maybe he can comment more on this matter.

As an all-in-one solution DAC/Amp, the HUGO is hard to beat.    With TH900, it is still one of the best sounding DAC/amp i have experienced, minus all the distrations of Wagnus S/Bakoon/TU-05B, etc.     Hugo sounds great with both iems and less demanding headphones and serve as a good transport as well when needed.   I will not be letting it go until HUGO 2 is out.

   As for Wagnus S, I am sure you will enjoy it.   Cheers.

An external amp could be fun to experiment since so many AA batteries are available with different results in the SQ department, and the latest Eneloop Pro might be one of the best NiMH out there

is that the same thing as the eneloop XX rechargables? Or is this supposed to be even better?

Eneloop XX was 3rd gen and now Eneloop Pro is the 4th one. Someone in China was about to sell Sony PCM-D100 but decided to keep that after trying Eneloop Pro because that's superior to Eneloop XX

Of course it's still worth a comparison with those 3.2V LiFePO4 batteries, let's wait and see.


You are so lucky living in China
Everything is there
We just have Sanyo envelop XX only type AA
We don't have type AAA

Do you know where I can buy Panasonic Eneloop Pro AA and AAA ?

Thank you

Hi Moe

Hugo strong point is their DAC
hUGo amp section is very good
As DAC amp combo Hugo is still the best

Please try it like below :

Source : IPhone 4 s or 5 s
DAC : Venture Craft Go Dap dd 1 or Cypher Labs Class solo DB

Use coaxial cable connect to HUGO

DAC amp : Hugo

Please try Hugo best SQ with Coaxial cable

You will love your Hugo more

Hi Rudi,
 
Do you find the coaxial out from venture dd 1 & cypher solo db to be better in SQ than the coaxial output from ibasso / fiio DAP's?

And you could talk to George regarding those Delipow 3.2V LiFePO4 batteries from China since someone in Taiwan actually liked them better than NiMH ones such as Eneloop, I guess that's probably why Red Wine Audio would choose LiFePO4

http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=180&t=3786933

Just be very, VERY careful with equal number of LiFePO4 batteries and dummies/fillers at all times.

 
Would you happen to know if a 3.2v battery would be too much for the wagnus amp?
Where can I purchase the LiFePO4 battery?
