Almost 3k for a dac? That’s crazy! But you get what you pay for!!

I love the Chord sound, and I’ve been using the Mojo for years until finally taking the plunge to upgrade to the Hugo 2. It’s a definite financial plunge, but the technology and sonic quality the Hugo 2 produces punches well above its weight. I bought this from a local audio store (not Amazon) and the salesman after listening to the Hugo 2 paired with my Beyerdynamics T1’s (2nd Gen), is (from his words) only like 15% behind the Chord DAVE ($12,000) with the Focal Utopia ($4000). Very nice Job Chord with the Hugo 2!!

If I were to describe the sound, I would say: A pitch black background, huge soundstage with incredible layering and detail, from the very low sub bass all the way up to the highest treble. Everything is presented exactly as the artist intended, with plenty of layering and separation between each musical instrument and vocals. Absolutely no distortion whatsoever which is amazing at this price point. Somehow, Chord managed to include all of this detail while bringing out the emotion of the music. I listen to almost every genre of music and I’m amazed at how well this performs, so I figured I’d pass it forward and give Chord a little extra love here on Amazon :)

If you have the coin, and a good pair of cans that can handle it, this is a great deal.

Very beautiful product, but I cannot tell a big difference to the sound quality

Solid build, beautiful design, but cheap cables and charger.
I am using headphones like beyer dynamic, sennheiser IE800, UE900.
No big difference I can tell to the sound quality between connecting directly to my computer and connecting through it then to my computer...
For me the functionalities of Filter & Crossfeed are very useful, but dude, we can use a software player to implement these very easily.
I believe what you are thinking now: hey guy, it is designed for portable usage. Yes, it seems so, but the size and the weight is far from portable, and did I mention it -- after 5 minutes on, it will be so hot that you dare not let it stay in your bag(You cannot put it in the pocket with its size)...

So, it's a great gadget for show you have spare money.

再生用ソフトが欲しい

Reviewed in Japan on December 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

国内のFOSTEXやKORG等のDAアンプには再生用のソフトが用意されていてあまりコンピューターの知識に詳しくなくてもすぐインストールして機器を使用することが可能です。Hugo2の場合取説にも再生ソフトについては説明がなくネットで検索しやっとFoober2000の存在を知ったのですが、このインストール方法も大変でうまく動作するまでに苦労しました。
動作後の試聴感はとても良いと思います。やはりアナログに近いリアル感がありハイレゾ音源よりCD音源の再生に今までにない良い点が多く感じ取れます。

ドラマでペンの音が聞こえて臨場感が上がります

Reviewed in Japan on November 26, 2019

使用していたDENON DA-310USBがRCAとヘッドホンが排他だったので、代わりの据え置きDACを探していてこれにしました。
YouTubeの他、映画やドラマを見ていますが、タイトルに書いたようにペンの音や食器の音が聞こえるようになり、非常に臨場感が上がりした。驚くほど。
音楽も解像度が上がって、霧が晴れた印象を受けます。
また、リモコンとブルートゥース(aptX)に対応しているので、手元の携帯から音楽を鳴らせて、座椅子を倒している時でもHugo2に手を伸ばさす操作できて、不精な方には特におすすめ。
高額な印象ですが、Mojo等好きな方で解像度の高い音声が好みの方なら一度視聴をお勧めします。
