Interested in this too, as I could add a Romi Audio BX2 Plus with Qutest for real desktop replacement - if Hugo2 went.**Cross-posted at Qutest thread**
I'm thinking about exchanging my Hugo 2 for a Qutest, as I basically always use the Hugo 2 in desktop mode connected to an external amp. It's use as a portable device with Bluetooth is irrelevant to me. I also prefer the form factor of the Qutest.
Is there a general consensus on whether there's any kind of difference in timbre/tonality between Hugo 2 and Qutest? I know they use the same DAC, but I've read differing and conflicting reports about the tonal relationship between these units.
That stack would cover all bases with hard-to-drive planars.
