The curious cable is very good but I find it very sensitive in the sense that sometimes the Hugo recognises it and sometimes it doesn't! This can get very frustrating after a while.

@bintol have you heard someone else with same curious problem?

@bintol have you heard someone else with same curious problem?

No, I haven't - would be curious to know if others have a similar issue.
My curious cable likes to be very straight and with no movement - then it seems to be fine. However, if it is a bit bent or gets knocked (as is often the case in my set up), my Chord Hugo isn't recognised by the computer (doesn't establish or loses connection)...
Certainly not for on-the-go...

Also this one is interesting

I've not found interconnects to ever have huge sonic differences when connecting from a source to a DAC. The DAC pretty much drives the SQ you achieve. Mostly aesthetics, length requirements, and suppleness are my main interest with these types of cables.

Anyone test Hugo V1 with Mscaler?

Yes – it sounds fantastic with my HD 800, despite only going up to 176.4/192 kHz (blue light). At white (full upscaling to 352.8/384 kHz) the sound is monophonic. The same with the Mojo. That's not how it's supposed to be. @Rob Watts, what's going on here? See Rob's comment below.

 

[Rob Watts]

White is dual data mode, so two mono signals at 352/384. Hugo 1 can't accept dual data mode, so just uses the mono signal, treating it as stereo...

Best off using the single BNC output, which is stereo at 352/384 at white.

So today, less than a month after been fitted with a new battery, my Hugo is not showing signs of life. Not even the single white light that was on when the previous battery died...It was charging fine last night and I left it on over night, this morning it is dead.
I ll try to get a new adapter just in case the issue lies there but I don’t see this as likely
Any ideas ?

Did this get resolved?
