Hi
Do you make comparison between QBD76HDSD and HUGO TT?
Thank you

 

[FortisFlyer75]

Currently listening to the Hugo TT using Atlas Balanced XLR cables (Big thanks to Damien @Chord for loaning them to me) going through my speaker set up and which is my first experience personally of doing XLR balanced and have to just say in short without going to much in depth at the moment as my review/ impressions on the Hugo-TT will be coming soon but this sounds the nut's! 
 
If anybody on Head-fi is still asking the question out there why is it costing twice as much (as some have been dismayed for some reason at that) then hook it up balanced to a half decent Hi-Fi set up and you will then know the answer...
 
Just had to get that of my chest.
 
Without amusing you both Rob & John can you please make a Hugo surround AV processor to replace my Tag AV32R DP? 
 
Hope you are enjoying the Ether's also Rob ; ) 
My Dad's smitten with his open back pair, as I am also. Running out of excuses to visit him now just to get a listen to them with my Hugo!

Would the DAC of the Hugo TT connected to an external amp be superior to or at least different from the Hugo DAC in this scenario? (This could be for a Stax phone, making an external amp necessary.)

 

[raypin]

Mmm....short answer is yes. Mine is connected to a Mass Kobo 394. Another excellent pairing is with the GSX Mk2 dact.

 

[jlbrach]

so people who buy the TT would need an external amp?....I do not need an external amp for my Chord Hugo or at least i havent encountered a situation where i did

 

[raypin]

mmm.......it boils down to individual preferences. Even when I had the Chord Hugo, I occassionally find it necessary or desirable to pair it with an external amp (in particular the Continental Dual Mono) with some headphones. Same with the TT.  Reason: fine tuning the sound signature.  

 

[jlbrach]

if i pay 5k for a TT i can tell you i am not expecting to have to add an external amp but for those who do god bless!

 

[raypin]

mmm.....there is no right or wrong answer.  To each his own.....

 

[AlanYWM]

One good reason someone might want to use an external amp is when you have a headphone that is balanced. For example, the HE1000 headphone comes with a balanced cable and you may wish to use that cable but the TT does not support it. Also I would think that unless the external amp is a very good one, it may not benefit much. Just my opinion.

 

[raypin]

mmm....yes, I forgot to mention that I'm using the Mass 394 and GSX Mk2 with the TT in balanced mode

Hooked up the review Hugo TT tonight and put it through some if it's initial paces. Very well put together unit and likely one of the most versatile desktop solutions I've come across! 
 
More to come...but so far as either a standalone DAC or Headphone/Amp solution it's hitting all the right notes so far. I've played some of my favourite CDs, FLAC and DSD files through this thing and all have never sounded better. 
 
Gonna be really fun getting to know this black beauty (if you can't tell...this one is in black 

).
