If they price is around 4K it will sell like hotcakes again. It will prabably sell like how Mojo did but to high mid-end customers. Yup I will be picking one up if its 4K USD Chord. You guys need that third big wave and become millionaires and take over Audio market. Chord TT2 at 4K USD would do it I bet!

4K GBP? That is over 5300 USD. Price is too high!
You need that right pricing between Hugo and TT series and that is Hugo at $2500, Hugo TT at 4K ish. Not passsing 5K. big gap!
Should be about 5500$ at 4K sterling. These items are certainly not easy to come by. Saving all the time. Spend the time making sure the infrastructure and cables, power etc are all good to welcome TT2 to its new home in the autumn while listening to mojo now.

Everyone has missed emphasizing the TT2's biggest feature: the frigging 7.3Watts into a nominal 8ohm output for driving any 96ohm or better efficient speakers! And with the touted super-caps and revamped output stage, the TT2 has the power to drive transients and handle speaker impedance fluctuations. Yes, this is Rob's digital amp technology integrated into a mini-Dave. I almost bought a Hugo2 because even its 2watts direct to my 98dB Voxativ speakers sounded incredible ...although just a bit thin. I am certainly going to wait for TT2 to see if it can close the gap on requirement for an external amp. If so, TT2 is the ultimate integrated ...at least for my nearfield setup.
This is some great news! I am glad I came across this messege since this is exactly what I plan to be doing when getting TT 2.
And I actually did this with the original Hugo and it worked phenominally well. I remember another member did the same and thought it sounded like his 13K Devialet 200 but with obviously lesser volume level. I thought Hugo running my speakers alone actually sounded more refined, airier than the Devialet 200.
Question: I was wondering would I have to use custom Y- RCA splitter cables and plug in speaker cables into the RCA right/left input of the TT2 or will the Chord TT2 have speaker cable input like your any normal stereo amplifiers would have? Thanks in advance anyone that know the answer!

Yes, ofourse! If you spend this much on Audio setup you want everything to be in good shape. Quality wise too will be very transparent so many things will be revealed! You certainly dont want to cheap out on one part of the system and waste/degrade 30% of the performance of what its capable of!

With the 160, odd 000 taps and 20 WTAs as opposed to 10, I strongly doubt it. What good is all that extra amping and power improvements if the heart isn't DAVE spec. People did the same thing, wishing that Hugo2 could somehow be close to DAVE. Let's rein it in, people and accept it for what it is. It is not DAVE, it's an enlarged H2.
It is NOT enlarged H2 either. It is Hugo TT2, isn't it?

EDIT: Wow all this time I have been calling it Hugo TT 2, but it's Hugo 2 TT.
Yes it is indeed Hugo TT 2...
However the casework on the picture of the Hugo 2 TT/ Hugo TT 2, says Hugo 2 TT, in post one of this thread. ... That's why I corrected myself.
TT2 is easier I think. I hope I didn't come across as trying to be smart, or catch anyone out. I was just saying why I suddenly reverted to H2 TT.
At more than 90k taps it will feel like double the detail and resolving power of hugo 2 put simplistically.
Logic dictates the new name must be Hugo TT2 as Hugo TT(1) was known simply as Hugo TT.

The problem is if they became millionaire's they might retire and where would we all be then? I know where I'll be in 30 years, on antique roadshow selling my chord hugo TT 2 for half a millionIf they price is around 4K it will sell like hotcakes again. It will prabably sell like how Mojo did but to high mid-end customers. Yup I will be picking one up if its 4K USD Chord. You guys need that third big wave and become millionaires and take over Audio market. Chord TT2 at 4K USD would do it I bet!

There is no magic. Independent of the notion that RCA is line level and speaker terminals are speaker level, the connections both have a +/- ...you just need to make the correct metal-to-metal contact.

Most of my other gear is silver, and I think that silver does not show fingerprints so badly.
Do us all a favour, and listen to the TT2, and report your impressions.
I think we will all understand that show conditions are not ideal for listening, but any clues that you can provide will be interesting.
I will try and do my best. I am sure that TT2 is another great Chord Electronics DAC that will not disappoint. Actually Rob Watts improves them as technology advances, so they get better and better.My Mojo is black, but my Hugo 2 is silver.
