I'm suprised ive seen people saying Aptx is almost as good as wired, to me it sounds nowhere near as good.
Still a decent option, Chord Hugo on aptx sounds better than my ifi go blu. But its a noticable downgrade for sure

01 With the release of the Mojo 2, is it worth buying the first Hugo?
02 Could you provide any Hugo vs Mojo 2 review?
03 What is the fair value to be paid by hugo on this date?

I can weigh in on Mojo 1 vs Hugo 1, and mojo 2 isnt too far from mojo 1, its an incremental upgrade in sound according to just about every reviewer.

I much prefer the sound of the Hugo 1. On my Focal Clear it has this spacious, effortless quality, the Mojo sounds more boxed in, and somehow a bit more crude? I cant explain it. Mojo has more of a sound signature to me where i know im on mojo. Its a bit more obvious and that annoys me.

The difference is large enough I find it very hard to believe the Mojo 2 made up for the lost ground, or even half of it to be honest. Perhaps there is some fundamental limitation when you shrink the device size, im not sure.

Just get a Hugo 1 which has recently had its batteries replaced.

Boa noite, comprei o Hugo, conectei ele com o Cabo Coaxial que acompanha o DAP New Hiby R6, o cabo é novo, porém está ficando muito solto. Outros modelos de cabos serão mais justos?

Tive que desparafusar a parte frontal do cabo, desta forma consigo conectar, porém fica muito frouxo.

finalmente é melhor conectar por cabo coaxial ou usb?

What do you find to be a good transport source for the Chord Hugo? I have been using my iPhone with CCK dongle, but I also have the smallest cheapest Sony player (A17) as well as LoToo PAW 5000 and others that are small.

Am I correct that if you are using the Hugo for DAC / amp, you can go really small and inexpensive on the source that feeds it digitally?

Thanks!

Depends how you feed hugo. Through cck it doesn’t matter what’s feeding it, the hugo over writes the signal. USB it can matter what source type you use from a high quality upsampler usb galvanized music server source or some fan base noisy usb source, there will be differences

 

[ruthieandjohn]

Thanks! What is a good portable transport for the Hugo?

Why can’t you just insert a memory card with music files? Can you use a dap and optical in?

In my photo far right there’s an optical input I never have used. One cck an iPhone or dap or server via usb

I use the tiny Shanling as transport for the Hugo when I’m travelling light and it works well. Holding ten or so SD cards with hires files keeps me from getting bored.
