Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

Earlier posts contradict this though?

Posts ? I have only seen this raised by one purchaser. At this stage I would be inclined to put it down to operator error/confusion !

I don't understand the whole amp and DAC mode thing and headphone in or out. What's going on I'm worried as a potential buyer. It should make no difference as headphone mode is independent of other modes surely?

No worries my end mate its a fantastic product can't find fault with it at all

Chord use another English company to make the labels, when they received them to put on the black Hugo's and some silver they were faulty so the other company had to make more for them hence the delay, the sales manager told me this at Hifi lounge

Thanks for that. It’s a shame that the information has come via a 3rd party.

Thanks mate, just wish Rob Watts would sit the exams for me, we practically twins doubt they would notice

Paul is headphone mode completely independent from the other modes ie if you plug in headphones coming from either DAC or amp mode headphones are just as loud?

When I plug them in it goes to amp and it starts on red so you don't blow your headphones, mate I had to fanny around with the hugo 2,also when I was in dac mode with the hugo 2 I had to adjust the volume wheel in dac mode to get it in the light blue to match the volts to my av amp, it's set with the hugo TT 2, turn the volume nothing happens and that's what I want

Do what I do, stop trying to remember and it will pop into your head.

I've remembered, do you think the M scaler adds warmth to the sound?I'm so happy with the sound of the hugo TT 2 I don't think I want the sound to change its perfect right now

It should goto headphone mode not amp mode after plugging in headphones and you should have full volume control with headphone mode. DAC mode is fixed at 2.5v yes but it is nothing to do with headphone mode it's for amps.

I meant if I'm in dac mode it's set which I love think it's 3v mate

It's fixed 2.5v out in DAC mode Paul. But you said when you plug in headphones it goes to amp mode and this has been confirmed by me and others as being wrong as it should go to headphone mode automatically. Can you check again. Adjusting volume from low red in amp mode just after plugging in headphones is just plain wrong. DAC mode is not meant for headphone use either.
