It's probably best we take a view on a case by case basis (no pun intended).


Regards

Thank you

Thanks Rudi, look like I need to get a lightening adapter.

Lightning to USB cable

Used little bits of Velcro to try to tidy up the cables bit....

Yesterday, I was trying bluetooth in office using my Sony Xperia Z as source. I picked up quite a bit of noise with sensitive CIEM Fitear C435.
I switched off and on the bluetooth and Hugo multiple times to reset the connectiom but the noise was consistent on each try.
Not sure if anyone has similar issue or could it be my phone compatibility with Hugo?

Has anyone tried using Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet as USB host (with micro usb OTG adapter) for Hugo?

Hi George
After I use Sony ZX 1 and note 3 and ak 100 / 120 via bluetooth , I always shut off the Bluetooth on my DAP or note 3 , I hear no more noise on my Hugo

I have problem use bluetooth pair with IDevices like iPhone 5s and iPad air , at the beginning was fine after a while I hear distortion on the music instrument

That's ok, I wont be using bluetooth very much.
 
I have been taking the Hugo out this week, using X5 as source while sitting still on a bus/train. When I get home, I just plug in my laptop and play DSD using HD800. Throughout the whole day, I can attain desktop level SQ.  I think it is really wonderful and excellent value for money considering this thing gets so much play time.

Bluetooth operates on 2.4khz, the same as most WiFi devices, if you're in areas with high WiFi usage or other bluetooth devices in use in range of yours you may get some noise related to that congestion.

Thanks, that makes sense. It explains why I didnt get much noise when  I was testing it at home.
 
By the way, will you also get the Hugo? As I see you have the Auralic Taurus MKII amp as well, I am hoping to find out if any synergy and improvement for driving HE-6 and HD800.

I'm running Hugo as a DAC right now, feeding a Taurus MKII which drives an HE6. Extremely impressive combo IMHO.

Thanks, project86. Will you be doing review on the Hugo? Would really look forward to it.

Yesterday night I tried my Hugo to drive my Abyss

the result : wow the most powerful portable set up I have now
It has more power than my 3 stags : ALO Rx 3 B + class solo original + iPhone 5s

Source : iBasso HDP R10 with optical out
Dac Amp : chord Hugo
Headphone : Abyss 1266
LCD XC

My impression
WOOOW the most powerful portable set up I have now
It has more power than my 3 stags : ALO Rx 3 B + class solo original + iPhone 5s
This is phenomenal in portable audio with audiophile sound quality

I did not expected before about chord Hugo power that's so power full
I drive the volume until light blue so powerful and NO distortion at all

at Mook I have tried 3 iems also no sound quality reduction and no distorsion
That's mean the power Amp quality from Hugo is excellent

Note : use optical sound quality is very good , I believe with COAXIAL cable is much better

IMO

Rudi, if you have time, could you compare the duet amp with the hugo's amp?

Rudi, if you have time, could you compare the duet amp with the hugo's amp?

Duet amp is very good for their price range
SQ is better than ALO Rx 3 B , but less power than ALO Rx 3 B

Chord Hugo amp is better than this two in term of sound quality and power

IMO
