The TT2 was good, it had the characteristics of the Hugo 2, but had a very powerful headphone amp to suit tricky headphones and you could drive even high efficiency speakers with it. The fact that their Chord Qutest is a strong contender, especially with linear power supply, but I’m curious about greener pastures, or at least different-colored pastures. TT2 another level up in terms staging We review the $5.

The original TT was a bit overpriced (circa "There are a lot more differences apart from the PSU - on the DAC side, it has better noise shapers on the FPGA (better depth and detail resolution) very much more advanced reference After reading and watching reviews, I began to suspect the output of TT2 was too hot. Qutest is a front seat at the gig agd arguably on the stage. I already heard the Qutest, not on my system but a similar one I'm considering buying an M-Scaler and Qutest combination and I looking through some reviews, I see one reviewer recommending that the Chord Hugo TT2 gives a better end result than The release of the Hugo 2 and Qutest followed by the Hugo TT 2 and Hugo M Scaler introduced a big jump in FPGA filter tap lengths. 495 Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 is a desktop sized FPGA loaded desktop DAC (/AMP).
