  Mike, that's bad luck for you: The first few silver Hugo²s have an old FPGA code lacking the revision with the dual-data mode.

 
Damn, I'd better cancel the order then.

How do you know this? Rob just recently updated his final code there is no way Chord started production before the final code was implemented.

This is not true. Scroll up a little and read post #904 from Rob

Hey, that was just a bad joke. – Sorry for the confusion!

I suspected as much - You play with a straight bat normally, so everyone else believed you were telling the truth.

I wonder what's Taobao.com's price for the Hugo 2.

I'm wondering if an Australian/New Zealand tour is in order..

what I have been doing is fine tuning the code to suit the resources of the FPGA. So it's about balancing the size of individual modules to obtain the overall best possible performance - and I have managed to improve things by quite a lot, with hundreds of listening to lots of different options. Frankly, I have tried everything I can, and because of the exhaustive nature of the fine tuning I do, there is nothing left to improve - without having much better hardware. So now I have used 100% of the memory, 100% of the DSP cores running at the fastest rate possible, and 98% of the logic.

Hi rob, i have a concern in regards to how much of a reference sounds or how true to the original recording the hugo 2 may be.
How do you determine the overall best performance as you say? If you could elaborate with some context.
Is it in terms of power efficiency, distortion readings, sound quality?

I've read that you do a lot of listening tests, would this not be subjective.
Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance but what is an M scaler and what does it do to the SQ of the Hugo??

Where can I "preorder" a Hugo 2 in black and what is the asking price?

You can pre-order from many countries, so it would be useful if you added where you are located.

Have you read all the posts by Rob regarding sound and dac design in post #3 of the Mojo thread?
 
Also Rob has his own Watts Up thread where he discusses a lot about dac design etc.

The Chord dealer location link is below and I would have thought that's who you preorder with.

Audio 46 will let you preorder one. They have a store in Manhattan and a website online.
