Chord Electronics Hugo 2

Chord Electronics Hugo 2The Chord Electronics Hugo 2 is a transportable DAC, headphone amplifier, and preamplifier that runs circles around desktop units three times its size. Rob Watts' custom coded FPGA packs a 49,152 tap WTA filter into an aircraft grade aluminum chassis barely bigger than a smartphone. Seven consecutive What Hi Fi? Best DAC awards (2017 2023) and the thing still has no real competition at this price. Key Features of the Chord Electronics Hugo 2 Custom
