which hugo 2 input yields the best sound quality?
Optical gives the best SQ. People may say USB is equal to Optical in the H2, but I simply refuse. USB fails to give the 3-dimensionality to the sound, and also optical sounds smoother and darker, probably due to lack of RF interference.which hugo 2 input yields the best sound quality?

I think the real answer is that in certain systems you might be right. Possibly even in most systems. In other systems it is possible that ultimate sound quality might come from a top flight usb sorce such as an Innuos Statement which is completely designed around getting the usb output to be less noisy than optical circuits.

Is it possible to get a USB source to be less noisy than optical?
Optical is just light?
1 - MacBook Pro 2017 using stock cableA few questions about this if you don't mind:
1. With which USB source?
2. Is that with the wall charger connected to Hugo2?
3. And is that with Hugo2 directly driving headphones or with headamp connected or in a speaker setup?
I was astounded at the improvement provided by the low noise usb output of the Antipodes EX. No other source has sounded this good on the H2.
I think my statement leads to confusion. By source I should have said input. No other input... optical or coax sounds as good on the H2 as the usb fed by an ultra low noise source which the EX is.which ones did you try in comparison?
