Listening to Hugo 2 with headphones at the moment as I await my speakers and it just sounds wonderful. Crossfeed is a must for me, just not natural without it, on some tracks it doesn't make a huge difference yet on others it makes a huge difference. I wonder how the crossfeed implementation in roon compares with the crossfeed implementation in Hugo 2? I know roon converts to 64 bit for DSP calculations, as it does with eq, and uses digital emulation of analog circuits called Bauer Stereo to Binaural. I also wonder how roon eq will compare with iTunes eq and jriver eq? If you are just cutting bass frequencies say below 50 Hz due to room modes which eq is going to be the most transparent/accurate? I've read that digital eq is perfect for cutting frequencies but not boosting, where it's best to use an analog eq. A bit like the difference between an optical (analog) zoom and a digital zoom in image processing.
Question for Rob Watts, do any of the Hugo 2 crossfeed settings use eq to boost any frequencies? I'd also be interested to know which sets of speakers Chord or Rob use during testing?
miketlse, did you check your dealer actually placed the order with chord in Feb? I ordered mine in Feb and got it a few weeks ago.
Hugo 2 to me is like a little magic box, its lights shining like an aurora, with beautiful music flowing from just bits and bytes.
