'Pink' I believe,.. I havent had mine charged up for 24 hours constant and thats when it enters the desktop mode,.. should be able to confirm tomorrow night,. hope this helps

When plugged in on the desktop...what color is the charging ball, indicating that the battery is being bypassed?

i'm using the ipod/mojo right now

Dude, unplug the Mojo and plug in to the Hugo 2! Lol!

magenta for desktop mode. pink but slightly darker.

You got it. The stereo RCA input is analogue and therefore will not use any DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) after the RCA.

Edit: Specifically, connect the RCA out of the Hugo2 to these inputs circled below.

Does it need to set Hugo2 to the line level mode also or not

 

[Currawong]

white filter is the most neutral, correct? just got ch2 and listening

Yes. It's the same as the Dave and Hugo 1 linear phase filter AFAIK.

Does it need to set Hugo2 to the line level mode also or not

No. Line level mode is just a volume level. It's often too high for the inputs of other amps. Just set the Hugo 2's volume at a level suitable for whatever you want to do, eg: Whether or not you want to use the volume control on the amp, for example.

This is the song that blew my mind when demoing the Hugo2. I have the hires version which is even better, but Tidal will do.

can i just check the remote control only switches hugo 2 off? to power on you must press power button i.e. the remote does not switch hugo 2 on.



concerning white H2 filter--quote--"Yes. It's the same as the Dave and Hugo 1 linear phase filter AFAIK." true answer-- similar to dave in tonal quality and balance and nothing in common with Hugo1.

Hey there Theo,
Judging from your name I figured you might be a fellow German?

Cheers

Unfortunately i am from indonesia

The remote turns it off and on...at least it does with mine.

Mine doesn't. I thought it's just for the Desktop mode.

 

[boomtube]

Mine doesn't. I thought it's just for the Desktop mode.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding...yeah, only in desktop mode. When it's on battery only it just turns it off.

Just to clarify - Hugo WTA filters were in two stages, WTA 1 which went from 44.1 (1FS) to 352.8 kHz (8FS) and was 26,368 taps. Then WTA 2 took you from 352.8 kHz (8FS) to 705.6 kHz (16FS).

With Hugo 2 on the other hand, I have a much more powerful FPGA, so I can do more processing to get one closer to the original signal in the ADC before it was sampled. And with Hugo 2 WTA 1 took you right away to 16FS, so it went from 1FS to 16FS in a single WTA filter; and this is 49,152 taps. Then WTA 2 is quite a complex filter, with 6 DSP cores alone, and takes you from 16 FS to 256 FS, so now the WTA output is every 88 nS. When you switch from orange/red to white/green, then you are engaging this filter.

So Hugo to Hugo 2 is a very different and much more advanced WTA filter topology.

Thanks Rob. Can you clarify if the all the filters will have an affect irrespective of the 'bit' quality of the music being played.

So will all four filters have an affect on the sound of an MP3 file, CD or Hires, of do the White/green filters only impact hires music?

Thanks

PS - Hugo2 = great sound -

The filters do not "know" what the source is; they treat 16 bit and 24 bit in exactly the same way (actually 16 bit is 24 bit set up as the bottom 8 bits being all zeroes), and can't possibly know whether the PCM was originally MP3, AAC or straight uncompressed PCM.

Of course they know what the incoming sample rate is...
