Just experiencing with Omega speakers for the first time. As you can see they are connected directly to Hugo 2 and the volume is on blue and is plenty for near field listening. Very transparent sound, great depth and the instrument separation is incredible for single 8 inch speaker.
I am using Qed original performance cable for who is interested.
Looking forward to more changes in sound after 150 + hours as the speakers settle in. As i find out a subwoofer is not needed for my listening situation.
Give Omega speakers a try if you can and own a Hugo 2 or Dave, you will not be disappointed.
So far I am pleased with the sound and is incredible once again what Hugo 2 can do on his own.
Very versatile and worth every penny.
Congratulations! It is absolutely amazing to hear that kind of sound and presence coming from a tiny box like the Hugo2. The combination of Chord DACs and high efficiency single driver speakers is really special, and well worth experiencing just to see how distinct and unique it is. It really points the way to what will someday be possible when you have some future combination of digital amp + digital cross over (one amp for each transducer). Amazing what has been hiding in those recordings all along.
