But which xlr pins are you using ? 2 and 3 ?

Sorry I do not remember right now, whatever is recommended earlier in this forum for 18 Watts. I also made a set for RCA connection (7Watts).

I read about quite a few Hugo TT2 units malfunctioning. Keep us posted.

Mine has to be returned to Chord, as after 20-30 minutes of use, the actual box makes a clicking noise sporadicly. The clicking comes from the actual box and it has nothing to do with changing sample rates etc. I've also heard it click when I have just stopped using it and it's turned off and in standby mode.

The music still sounds great though, and if I had to guess what is causing the clicks, I would say it's something to do with the heat ?

Schiit happens!

That's normal. Mine clicks every once in a while too. Probably just thermal differences in the chassis, etc, which is also the heat dissipation system.

not really relevant. some monster amps kelp clicking when the amp heated up.

Geez, I've asked multiple times here if anyones TT2 makes a clicking sound that was not related to turning it on or changing sample rates, and everyone said no their's didn't, but now I hear this.

It seems to be more of a relay clicking sound possibly heat related ? it's not a problem sending it back, it's more for peace of mind if anything.

If more folk start posting that their TT2's make a clicking sound every now and then, I probably won't send my one back to Chord.

Sorry to add to the confusion, but I am only trying to help.. The clicking sound you describe sounds like the noise made when you switch the power on/off? That is the only time I hear a clicking sound coming from the TT2.

Yup, it sounds similar to when you turn on TT2, but louder.

Maybe it wants to be on tiktok

My TT stays very cool but at times the TT2 can get fairly warm even while just sitting powered up waiting for the next session. I like to leave things powered up.

I’ve posted before about it. I get the occasional clicking, even when in standby and not having been used. It does sound like a relay, so maybe it’s related to some change in input voltage? @Rob Watts ?

Just to be clear @Amberlamps do you have speakers connected and in use with this clicking? I've read too other posts about the clicking, just curious if it's only units with speakers in use.

I'm using mine with headphones only so should I be taking cans off and listening for this?

Mine never clicks after it's been off for a while. Only during cool down, or when on. I would say maybe once an hour while on. But I've had it off for a few days (plugged in) and zero clicks or anything.

I have been in several PMs with @Amberlamps about this clicking issue, and it's a bit of a mystery. I have talked with Chord, and of the thousands of TT2 none so far have come back with clicks.

Perhaps it's a real bug nesting in TT2!

Could be, as something climbed into my pc psu a year or so ago, which resulted in a puff of the magical blue smoke.

To be honest, it's not causing any problems with the sound, as TT2 works as good now as it did on day one.

I can't and won't fail Chord for my TT2 making a clicking sound, as heat and relays could be the cause, and if they are, sending it back won't cure it.

This is not an Anti Chord post, and chances are high that I won't even send it back, as it seems too much hassle for something so small, which may not even be a problem.

Ninja edit 74,

I have my TT2 and MScaler plugged in to a lindy power conditioner, maybe thats the root cause.
