The best Synergy amp pair With Chord Hugo as DAC

Source : Sony ZX 1 as transport
Dac / Amp : Chord Hugo as DAC via rca line out
Amp : Wagnus Epsioon S
Headphone : LCD XC

Cable :
ZX 1 to chord Hugo : Sony lod to USB > USB to micro USB
Chord Hugo to Wagnus : RCA to RCA use adapter RCA to mini

Pair with Wagnus Epsilon S can improve better sound quality the Chord amp section

Pair with Mass Ko Bo 395 is not good , SQ below Chord amp section

This is just my personal opinion , chord Hugo it self is the best dac amp in one box to date

Been enjoying this combo, many will say these Image 1 cans are the weak link but this setup has really been sounding sweet to my old ears

Yesterday night I tried my Hugo to drive my Abyss

the result : wow the most powerful portable set up I have now
It has more power than my 3 stags : ALO Rx 3 B + class solo original + iPhone 5s

Dac Amp : chord Hugo
Headphone : Abyss 1266
LCD XC

My impression
WOOOW the most powerful portable set up I have now
It has more power than my 3 stags : ALO Rx 3 B + class solo original + iPhone 5s
This is phenomenal in portable audio with audiophile sound quality

I did not expected before about chord Hugo power that's so power full
I drive the volume until light blue so powerful and NO distortion at all

at Mook I have tried 3 iems also no sound quality reduction and no distorsion
That's mean the power Amp quality from Hugo is excellent

Note : use optical sound quality is very good , I believe with COAXIAL cable is much better

IMO

Man, I don't know if I would play with an AK240, without a case and maybe a roll or two of bubble wrap...
