Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

[Meridian7]

Even with unchanged hardware they can recode certain chips. I know they did with Dave. Doesn't sound differently but can upgrade some aspects nonetheless. Don't know if this explains this bzz or no bzz ,

Hello head-fi tt2 users

If you have a case or any parts from a TT2 which you could sell me - - please write to me - I will be grateful for any help

Also, if you have a TT2 and you can disassemble it just to show what's inside - I will also be very grateful to you

For now I know for sure that - I don't have a screen and an IR receiver module from the remote control

I would be very grateful if someone showed me their working TT2 inside, namely what's inside under the plastic cover on the left (IR module I think)

I will be glad to accept any help..

and maybe if @Rob Watts please tell what screen is used in TT2 - maybe some SPI TFT screen will work or maybe help with pinout..

I will be glad to accept any help..

I dont have anything more, sorry I no longer use TT2

while I'm trying to find at least one photo of what's inside this plastic cover

if anyone has such a photo - I'd be very grateful

the encoder, as I understand it, is the same as in hugo2

the case and everything else is not a problem

the only problem is the screen, I still don't know the pinout

well, and this remote control module in the photo is also full of mysteries

I would day that there is just antena for bluetooth, nothing more. You can see single cable with ipex connector connected to BT daughter board.

thanks
if there is only a bluetooth antenna - it makes the task a little easier

then it turns out that the IR receiver of the remote is located here, where the screen is

and all I need is to find out the pinout and model of this receiver

and it is connected via a cable

now I need to find someone who can remove the cover and confirm my theory

UPD
i got 15v 4a third-pray power supply
looks like I have news
it turns on and the computer sees it via usb
it flashes LEDs as usual
but there is no sound
maybe i need to select the usb input
but since I don't have a screen and a remote control I don't know how to do it
and also since I don't have an encoder I can't adjust the volume
I think next week I'll try to continue doing something with it..

Hi everyone!
Im trying out the TT2 for ZMF Caldera and I’m quite impressed by the tt2 so I think I will pull the trigger

I could wish for some more power to get a little more bottom end, I’ve tried the 1/4 headphone jack in the front but would it be possible to use the xlrs in the back to get more power and should I get an adapter then for two males to one female?

How is the new Alto amp, would that be a good option other wise? It’s abit over my budget to as the Alto but if that would be a fantastic combo I would consider it.

I do have a tube amp already that I will be using for jazz and instrumental musik but I would like to have a punchy and fast ssd amp as well for listening to electronic musik.

you are certainly confusing me.
if you only have a TT2 board, is this a board from a working TT2, or a board sourced from a service centre, which may contain some faulty/damaged components?

good question
next week I'll try to find an answer to it
and also try to get sound out of it

You can use the xlr, but you have to make them yourself, or maybe someone here know where to buy them custom made.

Tt2 is amazing dac, add a mscaler and it is heaven, you want more power add a burson and use the tt2 as dac.

Tt2 is very versatile, headphone amp, dac, pre amp

Ok, I see, would be interesting to try. maby still better to get a dedicated amp that has a bit more power.

How does it work, can it have both the xlr and rca connected at the same time if I’m using two different amps?

 

[FLXI]

Chord Alto, anyone here who have tried it and can share some impressions, is it good value and does it work well with the TT2?

What are you’re other recommendations for ssd amps if speed and punch would be important?

The amplifier must be selected for headphones. TT2 powerful and clear enough for most headphones.

The Simaudio Moon 430HA has a lot of power and is very fast and dynamic. It matches well with Chord DACs that I’ve tried with it and is very transparent.
