It’s going to be interesting, especially with Rob Watts is at the helm. After listening to some of the world’s best DACS, I wholeheartedly believe FPGA tech is the way to go.

Outside of the Blu II, I currently or have previously own all of these DACs.

The original Hugo is my daily driver and it remained the best portable DAC for years. Just a quick post about my impressions regarding the new Chord Hugo 2. It was great for its time, and it still sounds fantastic today. If you could still find an original Chord Hugo in the used market…it’s a steal. There was just more rhythm, detail, shape, and clarity. It was no contest when driving the Sennheiser HD650s. So basically the same thoughts I had two years ago, but with a different filter. Some may actually still prefer the more intimate and cozy sound of the original Hugo.

Still a wonderful DAC, regardless of its age. The original Hugo is still so damn musical. I finally had time to give these two guys a better a comparison for those still interested.
