It's almost been a month since I returned my faulty Hugo 2; still waiting for replacement.

If you give me some more on where and who info by PM I'll chase it for you and get back to youIt's almost been a month since I returned my faulty Hugo 2; still waiting for replacement.
My dealer in the US (Audio Advice) received a shipment today and just sent my replacement out via FedEx. I had to awitch to silver but better than nothing. They have been great to work with.
I preferred the darker sound (just to keep the joke alive and well).At least you get better sound and more features with the silver for the same money.
Please be careful - the last time that people were joking about this subject, some gullible viewers believed them, and complained to the Mods.I preferred the darker sound (just to keep the joke alive and well).
@Currawong mentioned in his video review that he felt the Hugo 2 alone couldn't get the most of the Utopia and it needed a more powerful amp to sound more dynamic.
Interesting, thanks for your thoughts. My impression, from reading what others had to say, was that the Hugo 2 vs. SP1000 was a matter of taste more than anything. So I find it interesting that you found the Hugo 2 to be clearly better. I think others have found the SP1000 to win out in treble, I gather you didn't find that to be the case?
I've been debating between them, to pair with a KSE1500, but haven't had a chance to listen to either. I think the Hugo 2 is interesting because the soundstage/imaging advantage (vs. the SP1000) should be all the more useful with IEMs. On the other hand, the SP1000 is obviously lots more portable.
Part of my debate is whether my AK120II might still be good enough for portable use (with the Hugo 2 for home use, and/or transportable stationary use), especially given that it's quite a bit smaller/lighter than the SP1000, not to mention much cheaper (should I lose it/drop it/have it stolen while on the go). Or whether the AK120II will offend my ears, if I become used to the sound of a Hugo 2 at home!
no way!The H2 easily drives the Utopia....for me the strength of the Utopia is its efficiency and there is no way anyone actually needs an external amp with the H2 and Utopia...worse than overkill,it is detrimental to the sound performance
