Hugo does not work with 192/24 optical input.

Hugo does not work with 192/25 optical input.

where did you learn this? Thanks

I have one.

Chord Hugo technical specifications from their website -
 
• Optical TOSLink 24-bit/192kHz-capable
 
So are you saying that this is wrong?!?

I have one.

What's your source?

 

[eyeliberty]

My source is ak-100.

(I also responded to a similar post from you in another Hugo thread.)
 
The Hugo does work with 24/192 via its optical input.
 
@eyeliberty, you should definitely try another optical cable. While every optical cable I have here can pass 24/96--including my super-cheap ones from origins unknown--only a few can reliably pass 24/192.
 
Here's a photo I just took of the Astell&Kern AK120 passing 24/176.4 and 24/192 to the Hugo. Look at the Hugo's sample rate indicator (light blue for 176.4 and dark blue for 192) and the display on the AK120. (To see larger, more detailed versions of these photos, click on each of them.)
 

 

 
The optical cable I'm using in this shot works reliably, rock-steady--every time--with 24/192, if the DAC on the receiving end supports 24/192 via optical, and the Hugo definitely does.
 
The cable in the photo is one I custom-ordered from Sys Concept Inc., and can be found by clicking here. It is a very high-quality 1300-strand optical cable that was custom-fit for an AK120 / HiFi-M8 LX rig. (I have yet to order one for a Hugo-based rig, but will definitely do so at some point.)

I have emailed with Joseph of Sys Concept and he can easily deal with any restrictions on diameter on the input of the Hugo. As Jude mentions, the 1300 fiber optical from Sysconcepts works well. I have found it to be the best of all optical and not it is the only optical that I use.

I said I was going to order the Hugo a couple of nights ago. I haven't yet as I'm still waiting for more impressions from TH-900 owners. Anyone else tried it? Jude?
