I'm at a loss ... How do I connect Hugo to late 2013 MBPr? Which supplied optical do I use? I have a micro USB cable but unclear on how to use it.
Also ,, (dont laugh ) the optical on the Hugo .. do I remove that cap? Is that for protection for the light aperture?
Finally whats been your experience in using hugo in the car? Specifically, late models that have USB ready connects for idevices? Sorry for the newbie questions...

For the MBP, any regular USB to micro-USB cable will do. Connect it to the micro-USB port next to the power switch. That is both high-res and the default input on the Hugo.
To change the output of the MBP easily, go to your Sound preferences and click on "Show volume in the menu bar".
Turn on the Hugo, then hold down the "option" key when clicking on the volume in the menu bar and choose "Hugo" from the list of options.
If you have any high-res music, you might want to get software like BitPerfect (or Audirvana, Amarra, Fidelia or something else) that will automatically change the output settings so that Mac OS X doesn't re-sample the music when sending it to the Hugo.
