They laughed at me when I paid 2K AUD for the original Hugo, but there is effing way I’d pay *3700 AUD* for that form factor. I admire the work Rob Watts put into this thing, but for that money I’d be looking for the power supply that goes with a fullsize desktop DAC.

If it is possible, I would like you to do a review of the lindemann music book streamer as it has very similar functions and capabilities as the PS Audio. So it would be good to see a comparison of the two.

You can also do a video on comparing the Chord Hugo 2, TT, ps audio and Lindemann to guide prospective buyers what the best option is considering the prices and performance.

Thanks

I agree it’s hard to leave Chord DAC sound, when it comes to portable DACs now they didn’t just raise the bar, they are the bar.

Is is true that the USB inputs do not have galvanic isolation? If so a buyer would need to take this into consideration this if using the Hugo 2 in their speaker system. So did you ever try the USB input ?
