Overview

Hugo TT 2 has been radically redesigned from the ground up with 5x the processing power of the original Hugo TT and double that of the multi-award-winning Hugo 2. The Hugo TT 2 also brings home the much loved four-stage user-selectable filter controls introduced with Hugo 2 and retains the three-stage user-selectable digital crossfeed function for headphone users who want to improve the perception of depth, similar to that of speakers.

As expected, the Hugo TT 2 delivers radically improved technical specifications and measurements across the board and exhibits drastic sonic benefits over its predecessor with 768kHz PCM and DSD 512 playback. Hugo TT 2 sets a new benchmark in tabletop audio, only being eclipsed by DAVE.

Delving deeper, in comparison to the 256-tap filters that traditional chip DACs may run at, Hugo TT 2's beating heart is a powerful Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA, custom-coded by Chord Electronics' Rob Watts, with 86x 208MHz cores running in parallel to create an advanced 16FS WTA 1 filter with 98,304-taps. Double that of its multi-award winning transportable brother, Hugo 2 (49,152). Hugo TT 2 also benefits from an upgrade from a 4-element design to a 10-element design, which works in harmony with the radically upgraded FPGA and code to deliver unrivaled audio.

A brand new high-power discreet output stage coupled with second-order noise-shaping integrated between the DAC output and filter is also employed to massively reduce distortion. Further improvements have also been made to the power delivery. Hugo TT 2 eschews the Li-Po battery power supply of the original and ushers in six supercapacitors capable of delivering huge, linear dynamic currents when the music demands it with peak output of 5A, 9.3V RMS.

Included Accessories:

The King of DACs

I wanted a DAC that would serve as my primary headphone amp for my Meze Empyrean's but also works well with my McIntosh stereo...This did the trick and more! I haven't heard this kind of detail in a DAC in my life. It makes my CD's and digital files sound better than any devices I've used. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
