Quick question, can I use both the USB inputs at the same time? Meaning I don't have to unplug one to use the other.

Thanks

Sure. But for best SQ, it may help to power down the source you are not using.

Good point. Now that you mention it a lot of DACs put out a lot more than 2V. A PSAudio outputs 2.8v which is a bit hot for some amps, I run it at 75%.

Thanks,
Other ideas are welcome!

  I'm using Audionirvana on a mac. But I also compared feeding the DSD's through Onkyo Player on the iPhone to playing the flacs on the AK120 for OTG Hugo use and preferred the flac files there. I freely admit that leaving my iPhone available for incoming calls may also have played a part in my decision. But the DSD felt a little more artificial than the PCM.

There are a couple of businesses called Audio Nirvana but this is the only playback software resembling that name. Very impressed with the SQ of the latest release.

Hi, have you tried Amarra 3? Not sure if it's buggy or what, but I have all kinds of niggly problems with Amarra, especially controlling external speakers on Airplay, most notably the volume automatically reduces to nothing, which really makes it quite unusable. Otherwise, the SQ with the Hugo is, imho, as good as it gets.
 
How does A+ compare?

Amarra does sound great.  It is buggy as hell and not user friendly.  I ended up with Audirvana instead am glad I did.  Headaches at a minimum now and sounds great.

Thanks. I am going to download the trial and give it a spin!

hi, I use very cheap redmi s1 android phone and it is recognized by Hugo thru uapp.

ok I need a bit of help with a Bluetooth problem, definitely not my best subject admittedly... my mate has a Sony Xperia phone and he's trying to figure how to connect to the Hugo via Bluetooth, obviously he ain't had much luck so I'm wondering if he needs a Sony 'codec' to connect... any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am already having so much expectations after such great experience with hugo .[/quoteI should imagine it will cost in the region of £5000.As for the specs i don't think any one knows yet apart from chord, but it gonna have 2 be alot better than hugo.I was thinking about getting the hugo tt but £3000 for something that might sound a little bit better than the hugo is a deal breaker for me.

I have two basic questions, probably have been discussed. Does the Hugo come charged? Given the option is it better to go with the usb or optical out of MacBook pro?

Otherwise to weigh in on software, I have used Amarra over the years and currently Amarra synphony and wins in my book. Hopefully good with Hugo when it arrives.

hi, I am using foobar with windows tab for dsd to send to Hugo as dop and the sound is amazingly clean and natural and with very very quiet black background.

 

[rkt31]

in foobar if DSD is sent as dop , even foobar volume slider is not effective indicating that DSD is being sent directly as dop without any processing. as far as I know in j river volume control is still working even when DSD is sent as dop.
