Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

I found a significant difference between the USB and the BNC input of the TT2.

Interesting

Is there much difference listening via a streamer Vs computer? 'Notable' differences being highly subjective of course.

My Bluesound Node 2i betters my computer although the USB signal is passing through a Singxer SU-6 / Audioquest Diamond USB cable and out to the Qutest via optical cable.

My experience...my ears. You can see in my signature that I reclock the USB via the Phoenix USB and still adding the SRC_Dx and BNC into the MScaler sounds better to me.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I wanted to check out TT2's bluetooth function, yet it asks for a BT password to connect it.

Nothing in the manual about a BT password? Bought it second hand, dunno what first owner did.
Is there a standard TT2 BT password?
Thanks.

Try 0000 (4 zeros) Worked for my iPhone. That's the default for many BT devices.

Less noise. Lower noise floor. Better low level detail. Less fatigue.

That last one is a big difference, you won’t hear it in a clear sense directly, you notice it wanting to stop listening music.

I was a “digital is digital” person, until I tried a good streamer from Innuos. the difference is night and day when it comes to detail/resolution, separation, and soundstage. I got an expensive streamer before I got my TT2, and it made my cheaper DAC sound so much better.

it’s something that’s really hard (at least it was for me) to take people’s word for that it will make a difference, and you really just need to hear it for yourself. either try and demo or order one from somewhere with a good return policy/low-ish restock fee that you can stomach.

I'm going to look into one. Thanks

Another very happy Innuos owner here. Zen MK3 feeding HMS/TT2. Over the moon with it. MacBook and PC can kindly get in the bin.

I am looking for a different streamer too. But I am very specific in the functionality. I need smb share possibility, and hell don’t I accept indexing. I want direct shares folder view. And qobuz support (like eversolo, direct streaming services). Does innuos do that?

Interesting that it can be used as Roon core too!

 

[GhiAB]

Yes it can be used as a Roon core but it sound a little nicer with it's native software.

The Qobuz access in Sense is brilliant.

Works! Thanks.
