Hugo TT DAC/headphone amp

With the new Hugo TT (Table Top) we've built on the extraordinary success of our genre‐defining Hugo DAC/headphoneamplifier. The new larger desktop‐orientated device offers greater connectivity including a USB‐B input, XLR outputs, twoquarter inch headphone outputs, plus improved performance and features.

Compared to the more mobile Hugo, the Hugo TT gains a new larger chassis, remote control, an alphanumeric LED displaywith input/sample rate data, and improved sonic performance thanks to supercapacitors.

Advanced sample rate capability

The Hugo TT is ready to take advantage of today's advanced studio‐master‐quality (DXD) music files allowing music loversto experience music in true high definition, along with the best possible reproduction of CD‐quality music. Hugo TTsupports up to 32‐bit/384kHz audio via coax and USB, and 24‐bit/192kHz over optical, plus DSD64 on all inputs and DSD128via coax or USB (all via DoP).

In a key upgrade over the original Hugo, the Hugo TT benefits from a high‐quality asynchronous B‐type USB connection forboth the SD and HD USB input. With two further digital inputs: a (new) BNC coaxial and optical (TOSLink), any connectedcomponent with a digital output can benefit from the Hugo TT's advanced sound quality.

Bluetooth

To fully integrate with today's digitally stored media, the new Hugo TT also has A2DP Bluetooth capability and uses acustom‐made module with the aptX codec to feed a digital signal directly into the DAC circuitry, so even without cables,music can still be enjoyed.

Spartan 6 FPGA

The Hugo TT retains the same high‐performance Spartan 6 FPGA that enabled Hugo to redefine the DAC genre in 2014. Ithas the same specification and measured performance as its mobile sibling, a device that "broke all records" for dynamicrange in leading UK hi‐fi magazine, Hi‐Fi World, in the summer of 2014.

Supercapacitors

Being a home‐orientated device, the Hugo TT has been designed to run continuously from the supplied charger, howeverChord's engineers have also improved the battery and added Supercap energy storage, a technology seen in F1 wheresupercacitors back‐up the cars batteries by sharing the load and charge demands, thereby protecting them. They serve asimilar purpose in the Hugo TT, extending the battery life as well as improving dynamics and demanding transients inrecorded music.
