  Marketing requires also high intelligence as R&D does.

 
JF does a bit more than globe-trotting... they're both highly intelligent men with great personalities, if'n I do say so myself.

China has everything eh?
I guess we can expect something like a Hugo from China for $500 in 20 years. or not.

Well, they've got the know-how while the parts required are also easily acquired

that's the expensive cable Seeteeyou, it would help if these company's sold their products on Ebay at least you would have some hope of purchasing them.

 

[seeteeyou]

Ouch, now we're calling $25 cables expensive and I can't even find the right word for AK380 etc.
 
Seriously, "taobao agent" could be the keywords if we don't mind paying some fees plus international shipping. Other than that, most likely Dita Audio in China should be happy to help?

 

[OK-Guy]

$25 (£15) I'd willingly  pay... the photo of the Hugo/ZX2 is the expensive cable using the Sony WMC-NWH10 cable-head, think it's about £200+ 

 

[seeteeyou]

Latest ones from China should cost $45 with aluminium alloy connectors, though that particular right-angled micro USB connector might not be compatible with Hugo's recessed jacks

Yet another seller is offering options for Walkman and Hugo and I could see the Walkman logo

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=43154328094

$5 (30 RMB) for DIY parts
 
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=44144003513
 
WMC-NWH10 is 197 RMB from that seller

As usual we could also import the DIY parts for Walkman

Micro USB connectors should be easily found anywhere else

Then pay someone to make a cable locally instead of going through "taobao agent" with sometimes relatively "shocking" international shipping.

Please forgive me if this is a really stupid question or if it has already been answered; but I see that several people have listened to the Hugo through Stax SR-009s, and some have used the same type amp I have, a Spritzer KGSSHV. The question I have is if the Hugo only has unbalanced RCA outputs, how do you connect it to the KGSSHV, which only has balanced XLR inputs? Do you use some kind of converter, or do you connect the Hugo up to a preamp or something?
 
Thanks very much!

I have a question.  I bought a chord hugo 2nd hand from a head-fi'er and I accidently ran 19v electricity through it (forgot to turn down the external battery).  So now my Hugo is fried.  Can this be fixed or do I have to buy a new one?

I would contact Chord. I would imagine there are a few chips that need to be replaced.

damn that was unlucky Fobboy, do what Jamato said alternatively I will ask in the morning and report back as I need to ask a question about the Hugo-TT, hth.

Thanks all for the quick feedback.  I can still smell the burning...

 
Gonna e-mail Chord now.

Will need to go back to chord for one of two things, hopefully the protection circuit is fried which is the much cheaper problem. However if it is the board then that could be costly.
