Its calling card is timing, precision, and bags of detail but rather than a dull neutral delivery it is perhaps surprisingly musical in its approach.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Headfonics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped from the multi-award-winning transportable Hugo 2, the Hugo TT 2 is bigger, better and more advanced in every way. TT 2 sets a new benchmark for table top DACs, eclipsed only by our flagship DAVE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo TT 2 has been radically redesigned from the ground up, not only with beautiful new casework by 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 TT 2 distills over 20 years of digital development by Rob Watts and takes advantage of the very latest technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs expected, it 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 table top audio, only being eclipsed by DAVE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelving 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 super capacitors capable of delivering huge, linear dynamic currents when the music demands it with peak output of 5A, 9.3V RMS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHugo TT 2 can be upgraded at any time with the addition of M Scaler, our 1M-tap digital upscaling device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003ePrecision machined aluminium casing with steel ball bearing buttons, gloss black acrylic signal window, glass viewing portal, and dot matrix display. Available in a choice of two colors – silver, and satin black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTap length filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98,304-tap 16FS WTA 1 – 10 element design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity (input): \u003c\/strong\u003e1x USB Type-B, 2x Coax BNC, 2x Optical \u0026amp; Bluetooth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity (output):\u003c\/strong\u003e Stereo XLR, Stereo RCA, 2x 6.5mm Headphone jack \u0026amp; 1x 3.5mm Headphone jack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity (digital output):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x DX BNC (expansion outputs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e2.53kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePCM support: \u003c\/strong\u003e44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, 352.8kHz, 384kHz, 717.6kHz, and 768kHz. 16 – 32bit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDSD support:\u003c\/strong\u003e DoP DSD 64 to DSD 512 – native via Windows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine-level mode: \u003c\/strong\u003eActivated within the menu\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Driverless with Mac OS X and Linux, driver required for Windows OS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127dB ‘A’ weighted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 uV ‘A’ weighted (high gain), 1.7 uV ‘A’ weighted (low gain) with no measurable noise floor modulation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion: \u003c\/strong\u003e0.00008% @ 2.5 V 300Ω; 0.00016% @ 6 W 8Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power (unbalanced):\u003c\/strong\u003e (@1% THD) 288 mW RMS 300Ω; 7.3 W RMS 8Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput power (balanced): \u003c\/strong\u003e(@1% THD) 1.15 W RMS 300Ω; 18W RMS 8Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.042Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 V RMS 300Ω -138dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.2cm (H) 23.5cm (W) 23.8cm (D)\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51268065558809,"sku":"0010newChord","price":5100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51268065591577,"sku":"0011newChord","price":5100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/Chord_Electronics_Hugo_TT2_DAC_Preamp___Headphone_Amp_1.jpg?v=1768998459","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/chord-electronics-hugo-tt2-dac-preamp-headphone-amp","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
