Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

Anyone know, regards ether 2, do they require a lot of power, as such would they benefit from the amount of power tt2 has on offer?

Question for those driving lcd-4s with the TT2 and m scaler, I assume you use high gain so how far on the volume spectrum do you need to achieve very high volume? Do you only need to turn it up to say 25% or do you need to have the tt2 at like 90% of max volume. I’m upgrading from a tt which I found struggled with the lcd-4s so I added a gsx mk2 to that set up and I wonder with the tt2 will I not need to use the gsx mk2? I also understand using a m scaler decreases the volume a fair bit. Thanks

Not state of the art though? Didn't want to say in thread

It is in the same ballpark with other TOTL headphones. Of the ones I have listened to a lot recently, I would rank as follows: HE1, Abyss > Utopia > Empyrean, LCD4, LCDi4 > HD800.

If you have a chance, @paul2qute, you should hear it yourself. I personally prefer the Empyrean to the Utopia -- just another data point for you.

EDIT: I use the Alcantara earpads with the Empyrean.

As a follow up to this does anyone use an external headphone amp such as a gsx mk2 with the TT2 or is it completely unnecessary?

Go with the TT2 direct, unless you're using an amp for driving electrostatic headphones. It's extremely versatile. I use the Hugo TT2 to drive the most sensitive IEMs here, the most inefficient full-size headphones, and everything in between.

Hi guys,
I am using RME ADI 2Pro AE. So far I am happy with the sound. But I have good offer on TT2 now. Would you go for it?
Is it reasonable step up? Looking for someone who (ideally) auditioned both and could compare these.. Thank you.

I’m using that combination (200 ohm LCD-4). I very seldom need to go into the minus range on high gain, and then only if the track has been recorded at a very low level. My normal listening range is between around -15 to -5 (and that’s pretty loud). As the TT2 goes to +22, if I remember correctly, it has bags of power for the LCD-4s.
