I already own fiio x5, so i have pretty high standard already... hugo makes i don't know, 5% difference, if idsd can make 4% for 20% of hugos money, im in!
Just to be clear, the differences between x5 and chord hugo are not more than in the 5% range... x5 is already superb, and does everything almost perfect... i just wanted that 5% more, but as chord hugo costs 7Xfiio x5, i just thought to myself that even with diminishing returns law, it is a bit much compared to what i expected... ultrasone signature dj was 20% better than ultrasone dj one pro at around 4Xthe price, so it is a much better deal... also ie800 is around 35%better than ie8 at 3X the price...
I know that law of diminishing retuns apply, but chord hugo is kind of a bad reason to spend that much... i might want an edition 8 or even edition 5 unlimited, and if iFi iDSD micro, the device in question here, can bring 4% more over to fiio x5, it is more than enough, and it is more than what i need, and what i expect from paying 30% of the price of chord hugo..
I am sad that i have to buy without testing, but i think that i can get over this, the shop i buy from is not from my country, but it is from a neghibouring country, hungary, and the shop from there seems to sell lots of things to Romania all the time...
