Thank you Rudi.
Wish you a great success on the LCD trip!

Thank you
LCD XC is brighter and more detail compare to LCD X
Hugo is also bright sounding amp and detail
If you like bright and detail , than you Will Love
AK 240 + IBasso DB2 > use optical cable
DB2 + Hugo > use Coaxial cable > LCD XC has Excellent SQ

Personally i prefer LCD XC than LCD X

IMO

Hi Michel
For use coaxial cable between AK 240 and Hugo , you need external dac like IBasso DB2

AK 240 > use optical out to DB2 > use coaxial cable from DB 2 to coaxial In Hugo > LCD XC

Hugo strong Point is their coaxial input

I am sorry forget to put DB2 as media For using coaxial cable


Thanks Rudi for your detailed answer.

Do you really hear a SQ différence between AK240>optical-HUGO and AK240>DB2>Coax-HUGO ??

How Will you describe the sound difference ?

Your set-up is tempting, but is it Really Worth the added complexity & Bulk ?

Hugo best SQ is coming from Coaxial input

Like I done with

As transport :
Source : iPhone 4 s / iPhone 5 s
Dac : venture craft go dap dd 1 LE muse 02 , I use only as USB to SPDIF
Going to Hugo use : coaxial cable

As DAC and Amp
Dac / Amp : Hugo , I use as DAC and Amp

This way is almost the same like with ak 240

IMO

 I can tell you I was mad as a hornet when I got my 7th Gen Nano only to find out it would not pass signal thru the Apple lightning adapter

 But alas my $9.00 FiiO did so I just run this on pre lightning rigs!

Yeah, it was hard to see in the last picture. Yeah, I hate it, when you have to keep spending money, on stuff, that should be configured better.
