Chord posted that there will be no official hugo 2 case, because the Hugo 1 case did not sell in sufficient numbers.
However in a recent (last few days) post, someone mentioned the name of a case, so maybe that is the one featured in the photo.

Early June we can expect solid shipping dates?

The case or the Hugo 2?

Hopefully Dignis Korea will make a case for Hugo2, if there is not a official one by Chord Electronics.

It was @Currawong who mentioned a case made by guys from Van Nuys, so maybe that is the one in the photo.

Looks like you're right Mike...

I still hope Chord decides to make cases for Hugo 2. My reasoning is that there will be many more Hugo 2 owners than Hugo 1 since they introduced Mojo for the masses, this means more potential customers for Chord.

The Van Nuys case does look quite attractive.
I too think that Hugo 2 will prove more popular than Hugo 1, partly because we have already had over 3000 posts on this thread, before any production units have shipped, so surely the interest will escalate during the next few weeks.

people pay a premium for the hugo 2 for the subtleties it can uncover and dig out in various genres of music that lower priced products simply just cannot do. whether someone pays the extra for this added quality is their prerogative and no one should try to influence them otherwise./QUOTE]

Amen, I could not agree more.

I have had a look at the manual and everything seems ok, apart from the fact that the fact that there is only a limited 18 month warranty on the internal batteries. So, after 18 months you are on your own with respect to those batteries and they are not user replaceable (if you open the thing you void your 3 year warranty on hardware). Not good enough as far as I am concerned, I can not justify spending that amount of money on what seems to be a semi disposable item. I want something I can plug into my system and reasonably expect to work for 10 years plus with no problems. That is not really a lot to ask for these days.

I suppose I will wait for the 3qute. Hopefully Chord will be kind enough to make it with a variable output/volume control.

The Hugo 2 was featured in the latest episode of Samurai Jack.



So has anyone compared the Hugo 2 to the Yggdrasil? (I'm looking for actual detailed comparisons of the sound, not speculation.)

Important! Properly quote me or I may not see your reply, as this thread is too active for me to follow.

By the way, back in February I added the Hugo 2 to the Head Gear section. Once the functionality of the site is restored, you should be able to add it to your lists, and you can already publish reviews there.

More TAPs, more Pulse Array elements, better power filtering, better WTA algorithm and better measured performance. There's also filter options, Bluetooth, crossfeed, and dual coaxial inputs to connect to the Blu mk2 M scaler.

You can read about the Hugo2 from Rob in this post:

There have been three (I think) review tours organised.
No dealers can loan any hugo 2s at present, because none have yet shipped, but I expect that some dealers will agree to let you demo a Hugo 2 at home, if you contact them.
