Introducing the incredible Hugo TT2 DAC / Headphone Amplifier, from Chord Electronics.

Developed from the multi-award-winning transportable Hugo 2, the Hugo TT2 is bigger, better and more advanced in every way. TT 2 sets a new benchmark for tabletop DACs, eclipsed only by the Chord Electronics flagship DAC, the DAVE.

Hugo TT2 has been radically redesigned from the ground up, not only with beautiful new casework by Chord Electronics Chief Designer, John Franks, but with 5x the processing power of the original Hugo TT and double that of the multi-award-winning Hugo 2. Hugo TT2 distills over twenty years of digital development by Rob Watts and takes advantage of the very latest technology.

As expected, Hugo TT2 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 TT2 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 TT2’s beating heart is an infinitely more 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 unrivalled 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 TT2 eschews the Li-Po battery power supply of the original and ushers in six super-capacitors capable of delivering huge, linear dynamic currents when the music demands it with peak output of 5 A, 9.3 V RMS.

Hugo TT2 also brings home the much loved four-stage user-selectable filter controls introduced with Hugo 2 and retains the three-stage user-selectable digital cross-feed function for headphone users who want to improve the perception of depth, similar to that of speakers.
