  Well done optical has some advantages. 

 

  today i tried the included Toslink cable. To my surprise the included toslink cable sounded better than RCA nordost valhalla and RCA synergistic CTS. Both cables cost same as hugo but free tousling cable was better. Anyone else have the same experience. I am using PS audio transport as source.

I have the same experience.  I find the included free toslink (white) interconnect to sound better and perceptibly more detailed than either Moon Audio's or SysConcept's.    Unfortunately, its length makes it difficult to be used on-the-go.

I use the white cable on-the-go without issue, as I'm able to tuck it into the retaining straps of the Chord leather case. Here's a pic I posted yesterday in another thread.

I don't have experience with Android myself, but I noticed that Onkyo HF Player (which I use with my iPhone 6) is also available for Android. You might give that a try instead of Poweramp.

FYI, Android >> Onkyo HF Player >> Hugo works... 
 
...on the Hugo's "driverless USB input 16-bit/48kHz-capable (designed for tablets/phones)", a.k.a. the other/lesser USB output.  Oh, and, one needs to *select this output* on Hugo. 

 
Sounds decent enough for CD rips. Being as it were that the output is limited to 16/48, I have not bothered to try high-res files. 
 
Cheers.

Thanks!  



 

 
 
For desktop use it is almost usable now.  But I carry my rig as I would a messenger bag to keep my hands free while I go about my day.

This is how I usually carry my rig.  The stock (white) toslink interconnect will most likely get snagged on something while I am on the move.

At the moment I use my rig mostly at the office. Tomorrow I need to travel for work and that will be the first opportunity to take it with me in the road
Nice rigs guys! Keep on sharing

I want a Hugo in black. I think I will take mine apart and paint it. . . . or have it graffitied.

Listened today to my portable rig (Hugo + Shue Se846's) like almost every day for the last the weeks. This night finally the opportunity to fire up my main rig(stereo), wow. The Hugo is really good but (luckely) I am still impressed with my main rig, especially after only listening to the Hugo. Ofcourse this is comparing apples to oranges...so I will not go there. The Hugo replacing the dac in my main rig would be interesting, still need to make some time for that.
Happy that I can appreciate both systems, and the dac and amps from the main rig are a bit to heavy to take to the office everyday

Looks like they're feeding the black hugo with an AK120. Nice!

Just curious... which DAC are you using with your 'main rig'?
