So a compromise on Rob Watts side then

 
Who said that it is a compromise? Presumably RW is happy to design using the Apple approach.

I'm not saying the outcome as the sound quality is amazing I'm just saying if your doing the Apple approach then Rob Watts has to put space into the equation

  I own HUGO1, Mojo, and I really hope that not too far away we will get a "poly for the HUGO2" (with 1 tb storage ? 

 )

John has stated Hugo2 will have a streaming add-on with "additional desktop features" and i've asked for a full sized sd card slot but with no response.

Those Hugo owners who plan on buying Hugo 2,

What % has your Hugo been portable versus as your desk top Dac/amp?

I didn't have Hugo but Mojo and it was

80 % portable and only 20% desktop use for me.

I think Hugo 2 is gonna be

70% Desk Top
30% portable.

You?

As a Mojo owner, i started off as 100% portable, but for a long time I have been 100% desktop. I expect that Hugo 2 will also be 100% desktop.

Here's a question,whenever I buy a what hi-fi magazine they seem to rave about Naim gear but with the Chord they have to complain about little things even though they know the sound is in a different class, why?Another question, does john Franks pick the design of the casing and Rob watts has to design and squeeze everything into that shape,would a rectangle box give Rob more room to improve things,I love the look of the chords BTW

 
With respect to hi-fi magazines, what they write depends a great deal on who is paying for advertising. They are not going to find many faults with equipment from manufacturers who are paying them money, are they?

Hooster you took the words right out of my mouth

If 3qute arrives, would it include bluetooth capability like Hugo's do? Not to use continually but to connect with a phone is a good option.

100% desktop, +/-1%.  I have a good DAP for portable use.

I'm going to be using the Hugo 2 95% of the time at home but when I go on trips I may take it with me. 
 
One of my biggest fears is getting Hugo 2 lost or stolen, it won't be easy to financially replace it..

 

[howdy]

Cant wait to hear or do some comparisons between the Hugo1 and Hugo2.
Right now relaxing listening to Kansas city orchestra with Hugo1 streaming Tidal hifi and my Oppo PM3. Awsome Sound!

Damn. Just read through another 4 pages of new replies. Still no update on when the first batch will be shipped out.

Here's a question I wish I could have a poll on:

How many of you Mojo owners will be selling it (or are considering it) once you get the Hugo2?

I am thinking of doing just that...selling my Mojo and using my Dragonfly red (with ipod touch 6) as my DAC for walk around portable use (as it's not going to be quiet outside ... ambient noise, so critical listening isn't ideal here)...But for when I'm sitting down for a longer listening session, say in a quiet Cafe, office after work or at home, I'll use the Hugo2.

anyone else thinking the same?

I will keep my Mojo. I would use the Mojo for portable use and the Hugo for at home use. Im considering selling everthing else that I have and just staying with Chord products only.

And ideally that's how chord wants you to do it...And don't get me wrong I love my mojo...Just the dragonfly is lighter, easier for on the go...but we'll see.
