Sorry a little confused, 'white light' for volume?  That is like the max volume, deep red is the lowest setting, green being in the middle. 
Yes the volume colour range is from lowest browny red through all the colours of the rainbow to blue , indigo and finally white . Green is the safe volume starting position about one third up on the volume scale.

Probably been asked before but does Hugo drive Audeze LCD-2 or LCD-3 well? I hear the LCD-X work great and it drives my HD-650's brilliantly. Looking to upgrade headphones,

It looks like there is an offer on Hugos at Unilet Sale that starts tomorrow at 9am GMT, you also get a free vertere cable.

 
thanks for taking the time to talk to me earlier Phil and for the advice on the Chord Co. RCA's & Vertere USB cables for the Hugo.
 
I registered on the Unilet website before you told me that Custom-Cable would be joining up with them to offer the same deals eg. Hugo & Vertere USB for £1200 (bargain imo)

ps... do me the ultimate best mate deal  on my RCA's and I may send you my ZX1.

I looked at the Custom Cable site this morning and saw a price of £1,400 + VAT. So the sale starts tomorrow April 26th at 9:00am GMT for a price of £1,200 including a USB cable, only available thru Custom Cable? Is there a pre-sale list to sign on so as to insure availability?

I think the retail price is £1400 including VAT.

Still only a savings of a couple hundred under going thru Moon Audio here on the states.

Just noticed a fundamental issue with the physical design of the Hugo.  The ports are not sealed so dust gets in the unit easily.  Since it uses a see through glass porthole up top we will be able to admire the dust and fluff that will accumulate over time.  Take a look at your usb ports on the Hugo there are massive gaps around the port.  They should change the design to seal these off to prevent dust and fluff.

I think these must be earlier metalwork with smaller RCAs access but who cares there are now some great cables that fit and it's a great deal!

PhilW, thanks for the clarification sir. I guess I'll have to set my alarm for 4:00am.
