Not really sure. Just out of curiosity, why do you need these specs?

Just for the sake of knowledge

So can anybody confirm what is 0L level via xlr ?

Probably very close to what -3L or -3H are, via XLR.

In RCA, they are both 3V. Line out is 2.5V.

In XLR they will be whatever standard XLR needs to be.

God my TT is for repair atm and Chord has problems with getting replacments parts. Not having it really makes you miss the Chord sound....

Does the tt2 suffer from light bass as H2 does?

Does the tt2 suffer from light bass as H2 does?

It does not in my opinion. I wouldn’t say it’s got boomy bass, but it has very very well controlled and textured bass. I’d also imagine the amount of bass might also depend on the headphones you use.

Is the tt2 a big improvement over H2 in terms of resolution, clarity? Or just like 10% better?

I really can’t comment because it’s been a couple years since I had a Hugo 2. That said, I remember being shocked by the step up to a TT2 from my Qutest and I felt like the Qutest was a nice step up from my Hugo 2 at the time.

In my opinion, 10% better is a huge jump when you are already at a very good product. It depends what that 10% is worth to you. Mojo to TT2 is maybe that 10%. It’s not like going from 480P to 1080P, but maybe like going from 1080P to 4K on a 50” screen. So, not much, but better. And you do get used to it.

What TT2 provides is additional power and flexibility. I use it for speakers and headphones. But it trades off portability. It will (one day) support mScaler better than H2, or of course, Mojo.

Edit: and here is another take worth reading. What I take away is that there is a lot of “subjectivity” or “art” in the design of Rob’s DACs in the I to V conversion (I.e., “amp”):

I only have headphones but always looking for more resolution and clarity, no matter how much I get. I love the H2. But I do wish it had more musicality

Matt posted on another Chord thread, that many of their UK suppliers were planning to reopen for business in mid-June.
Maybe that explains why replacement parts are in short supply at the moment.

I only heard the H2 on tour for about 10,days, but preferred the musicality of Mojo. TT2 is a super-Mojo to me. More of everything. It is really hard to speak in percentages, though. A live unamplified concert is one thing, and probably really hard to replicate. But for studio albums, Mojo + Aeon 2 Closed is easily 90% of what anyone can hope for. Better is largely subjective at that point, though there are incremental technicals, especially if you have hard to drive headphones or other special needs.

Well, deposit down on a black TT2 to 'replace' my Sony TA-ZH1 .... and to compliment my Hugo2 ... can't wait!

In terms of Coax from a Sonos unit it has Audioquest Cinnamon. I don't think it it worth upgrading that as the unit will mainly run with my MacBook Pro plugged into a Vertere USB . I was looking at the Audioquest Carbon Black but realised the Sonos is not going to benefit much more from a fancier cable.

Neither have "light bass". Dead flat...if you are not hearing enough, I suggest a different headphone. You do not want a coloured source as it will not work with many other transducers.

Is the tt2 less aggressive in its sound than H2? I want all the detail of the H2, the resolution and clarity but also slightly more laid back and not as aggressive ( I don't sense brightness or glare) just lots of attack! Maybe I'm not used to the details in this way.

I have the lcd 4z and love them.

There is no aggressiveness to the H2, but it is dynamic and detailed, and if you're looking for something laid back, then you want something less detailed with trimming some of the treble off.
