Started to use Raspberry pi with the JustBoom Digi Hat as a streamer, input to Hugo 2 (via coax or fiber). Sounds good (although not great, compared to bit-perfect Tidal hifi via UAPP USB audio).

Can someone explain the coax states of the H2? (coax1, coax2, dual coax; yellow, light blue, light red color of the source selector).

For my RCA coax cable I use a mono RCA to 3.5mm adapter to connect with the H2, is it the correct adapter?

Which Coax cable (including the 3.5mm connector) is recommended for my setup?

Thanks.

Coax 1 is for single 384khz max signal. Coax 2 is a combo of 2 x 384khz signals from an mscaler or SRC-DX. It requires a special cable. Moon Audio makes a good one.

Yes, it is correct,
Just try Coax 1 and Coax 2 :
Coax 1 configuration = Tip and sleeve, Coax 2 configuration = Ring and sleeve.

Unfortunately, there is no documentation on dual coax data mode of Hugo 2, maybe @Rob Watts could explain. It seems to be L+R coax..

Coax 2 is a combo of 2 x 384khz signals

But it is a miracle how to use it, and what maximum DoP rate is (DSD128 or DSD256)..
Mytek Digital Brooklyn DAC+ has the same functionality but is it the same dual coax or another one?

 

[technobear]

Oh my goodness. Lots of answers here that are mostly or partly wrong!

The Hugo 2 has TWO coaxial inputs.

The socket is a 3.5mm STEREO (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) socket.

Coaxial input 1 uses the tip and the sleeve. You can use a mono or stereo plug as long as the signal goes to the tip.

Coaxial input 2 uses the ring and the sleeve. You can only use a stereo plug and the signal must go to the ring.

Dual coax uses both inputs together and is for use with the MScaler only.

Looking to get an aftermarket cable made up for my Stellia's to my Hugo 2.

In terms of headphone connector, am I better off having the cable with a 6.3mm or 3.5mm adaptor? If there is no distinct reason to go with one or the other, Ill go for the 3.5mm which would allow me to use with the Shanling M8.

 

[JulienFrance]

I never heard any difference between the 3.5mm and 6.5mm outputs from the Hugo 2

They are identical outputs. So pick what works better ergonomically.

I will throw this into the discussion.

Go with the 6.3mm if possible its a stronger connection so less likelihood of a broken socket. My 3.5mm socket on my Hugo2 is still fine but I did break a 3.5mm Mojo socket once, the soldering to the circuit board is weaker and that resulted in a loose joint between the PCB and socket.

 

[marcus2704]

Thanks all, I have gone with the 3.5mm purely because it enables me to use it OTG with my Shanling should I ever decide to.

Is there any ways to enter hugo2 to desktop mode manually?

No.

(This is a conversation we have had many times).

Do you guys know where to purchase replacement batteries for the Hugo 2? I was able to replace the batteries for my Hugo 1 no problem, but there doesn't seem to be Hugo 2 batteries available online.

Hi guys, I have bought a 2nd hugo2, when it connects to my iphone via lightning-micro otg it shows the name mojo not hugo, is that normal?

I think that is older ones that were named like that, it does not matter...
