Here ya go, the new Chord product, it's leaked now, so I can share.........

http://www.stereo.net.au/news/leaked-chord-redefines-portable-audio-with-mojo

 
Lessons learned:
1) How not to launch a new product. 
2) How not to cannibalise your own product range.....
 
 
What Amateur Professionals....

It's going to sell like hot cakes though.

 

[analogmusic]

Not at all.
 
the Hugo was simply too expensive at 1400 GBP for many people
 
now this is a very good price, and it will sell very well to younger people who just could not pay for a Hugo.

Someone I know who has one and has had a Hugo also, says they are so close it's hard to pick.

From what reply are you referring to ?

What DAC are so close to Hugo?

 

[Skampmeister]

The Mojo.

 

[Whazzzup]

Only in Canada you say

Was anyone here able to attend DAVE's official launch either in London yesterday or in New York today? I'm anxious to know whether those who heard it found that it sets a new standard in digital reproduction superior to anything else they've heard, or just another one of many other good sounding DAC choices already available. Your thoughts and any comparisons you could share will be most helpful to those of us that are unable to attend and will be most appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time.

I was at the Chord London August 14th launch party. It was purely for Mojo, not Dave.

I apologize if I misinterpreted this announcement, after re-reading it DAVE may only be included in the New York event on October 15th. Was anyone in attendance that can share their impressions please?

Will Chord update to the newest chip like they do with Mojo ?

 

[Mython]

Different chip requirements in a portable device than in a desktop device.
 
Rob will use the most advanced chip he feels necessary & appropriate, in order to maximise the performance of the DAVE, but in order to do that, he need not necessarily use the same FPGA chip as is contained in the tiny Mojo.

 

[Raika]

He should tell us more about David sorry Dave . Let's wait for now .

Seriously?
 
Have you actually taken the time to read the entire thread?
 
Rob is the most generous designer I know, with the depth of his technical explanations, here on Head-fi (look in the Hugo thread(s), too).
 
There is even some discussion from Rob, on youtube, regarding technicalities of the Hugo and the DAVE.
 
Here's a recent DAVE one:
